Cameron Young

Returns to The Open a month after firing the first sub-60 score on the PGA Tour for four years at the Travelers Championship.

Shot a closing 65 on his debut at St Andrews and would have been holding the Claret Jug but for the fact that Cameron Smith scored 64 and beat him to the Claret Jug by one.

Young recorded another top 10 finish at Hoylake and also at the 2023 Masters in addition to reaching the final of the WGC-Dell Match Play and reaching 13th in the world, but went into this season still searching for his first PGA Tour victory.

Winner of back-to-back titles on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2021, the former Wake Forest University student was joint second at the Sanderson Farms Championship later that year, then repeated that at the 2022 Genesis Invitational.

His PGA Championship debut followed and he was in contention before a costly double bogey on the 16th hole meaning he finished joint third again and only one shot away from the play-off in which Justin Thomas beat Will Zalatoris.

Two weeks after his Open performance in 2022, he was a runner-up again at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

In 2014, Young was a member of the United States teams at the Junior Ryder Cup and Junior World Cup and he represented his country again at the 2022 Presidents Cup.
