Young secured his second PGA Tour victory after a dramatic conclusion at TPC Sawgrass. The 28-year-old was one shot behind with two holes to play, but went on to beat Matthew Fitzpatrick by one.

It is the biggest win of Young’s career to date. And it is another step in the right direction following his outstanding performance at last year’s Ryder Cup.

It was no surprise that Keegan Bradley sent the pair out in the first two spots for the Sunday singles. One of the memorable moments on that final day came when Young waited by the 18th green for the conclusion of Thomas’ match with Tommy Fleetwood. And some would have noticed that Thomas repaid the favour on Sunday.

Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show , Young explained how much it meant to have the two-time major champion wait at Sawgrass to congratulate him.

I got to see my wife and my three kids. I saw my parents briefly. So just to get even three minutes with them where it was just quiet in a room above scoring was a pretty special time.
