PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The Players Championship might not be the fifth major, but the PGA Tour’s flagship event delivered another thrilling finish at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday.
Cameron Young picked up the biggest victory of his career when he chased down 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick on the final two holes for a 1-shot victory.
Young carded a 4-under 68 in the final round to finish 13-under 275, one stroke better than Fitzpatrick and two over Xander Schauffele.
Young was a hero for the U.S. Ryder Cup team during its 15-13 loss to Europe at Bethpage Black State Park in New York in September, picking up four points by going 3-1 in his matches.
That performance helped him earn the admiration of many of the fans at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday.
“It definitely helps,” Young said. “It just provides you some kind of context for how you can perform and how you can think when you feel that way. Dealing with nerves is tricky. Your senses are kind of heightened.”
