Cameron Young Stuns PGA Tour Champions with Championship Streak Win!

Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. – Cameron Young clinched his second PGA Tour title and the biggest win of his career with a sensational one-shot victory at The Players Championship on Sunday after a drama-laden afternoon at TPC Sawgrass. One stroke behind England's Matt Fitzpatrick with two holes to play, Young drew level with a birdie at the par-3 17th after hitting a brilliant tee shot to 9 1/2 feet and then coolly parred the last to card a 4-under-par 68.

That left the New York native at 13-under 275 in the PGA Tour's flagship event and one ahead of Fitzpatrick, who also closed with a 68 after his tee shot at the 18th wound up on pine straw in the tree line to the right of the fairway and led to a bogey 5. PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP SCORES Former U. S.

Open champion Fitzpatrick had a chance to force a three-hole playoff after lining up a par putt from 8 1/2 feet on the 18th green, but his attempt slid past the right edge of the cup and he had to settle for second place. Two-time major champion Xander Schauffele closed with a 69 to claim third place at 11 under, a stroke in front of World No. 8 Robert MacIntyre of Scotland, who also signed off with a 69.

"I feel like we just kept ourselves in a really good spot all day today, really all week," Young said after the relief of knocking in his short par putt on the 18th green. "The nerves kicked in over the 8-inch putt on the last. That hole looked really, really small there from pretty close range.
