Cameron Young executed four consecutive birdies on the front nine, increasing his lead to eight shots before finishing with a 5-under 65, giving him a five-shot lead in the Wyndham Championship. He started with a bogey-free score in the storm-delayed second round and showcased impressive putting, including a 30-footer on No. 4. Nico Echavarria reduced the gap with three birdies on the back nine. Young, who previously had a streak of 39 holes without a bogey, is trying to secure his first victory after numerous runner-up finishes since 2021.
Cameron Young ran off four straight birdies on the front nine and stretched his lead to eight shots Saturday before he settled into a series of pars for a 5-under 65, giving him a five-shot lead in the Wyndham Championship as he goes for his first PGA Tour victory.
Young capped a bogey-free 65 in the storm-delayed second round in the morning. Then he stretched his lead with his four straight birdies, including a 30-footer on No. 4 and a two-putt birdie from 20 feet on the par-5 fifth.
Young, who had gone 39 straight holes without a bogey at Sedgefield Country Club until missing a 6-foot sliding par putt on the 14th hole, responded with a beautiful lag for a two-putt birdie on the par-5 15th, and a 10-foot birdie on the 17th to put the lead at five.
Young is widely considered the best player to never have won on a main tour, a runner-up seven times since his rookie season in 2021. That includes a World Golf Championship and more notably the 2022 British Open at St. Andrews.
