Scheffler and McIlroy have been the leading figures for several years now, particularly dominating at major championship level. McIlroy has won back-to-back titles at The Masters, while Scheffler won the PGA Championship and The Open Championship last season.
But their closest challenger on the PGA Tour is worthy of a discussion, with Matt Fitzpatrick now ranked third in the world after winning the RBC Heritage. Johnson Wagner has now shared his verdict, referencing the likes of Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young among others. Johnson Wagner thinks Cameron Young is the third best golfer right now Wagner said on Golf on CBS : “I think if Collin Morikawa was healthy, I think it’s him the way he’s playing right now.
“Fitz is making a run for it. And Chris Gotterup, what he’s done, I think he’s got the firepower and he’s young. “There are a lot of different candidates there.
I don’t think there’s necessarily a solid third right now. “But Cameron Young, I mean coming off his Players victory to give himself a chance at Augusta. Probably, if you made me pin it down to one, it would be him.
“Just with his skill set, how far he hits it, how consistent he’s become, how great he’s performed in major championships in his short career. “I think Cameron Young is the best three-man right now. ” Photo by Jared C.
