Cameron Young is back at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., where he won his first PGA Tour title last year. After entering the tournament winless, Young secured victory by six strokes, ultimately leading to a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Since then, he has continued to excel, currently ranked No. 3 in the Official World Golf Ranking after winning twice this season.
