Cameron Young takes over as the PGA Tour FedEx Cup points leader
The PGA Tour FedEx Cup points race has a new leader after the Masters Tournament, but it's not winner Rory McIlroy.
Jacob Bridgeman's seven-week run at the top of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup points standings ended at the Masters Tournament. The new leader is Cameron Young , who tied for third at the Augusta National Golf Club, while Bridgeman tied for 41st. Young went from second to first with 312.
5 points and Scottie Scheffler jumped from seventh to second with 500 points for his solo second. Bridgeman received 19. 5 points and dropped to third.
Masters champion Rory McIlroy , who made only his fifth start of the season, moved from 24 th to 7 th with his 750 points. Young also took over the PGA Tour money lead. Bridgeman had led the points list since winning the Genesis Invitational in February, a Signature Event worth 700 points.
Young has made a steady climb up the ladder since he tied for seventh at the Genesis. In subsequent starts he tied for third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and won The Players. Young becomes the fourth player to lead the points list in 13 weeks.
