SPECIAL MILESTONE FOR YOUNG

FINAL ROUND REACTION

CAMERON YOUNG WINS THE WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP

GREEN FOUND

Young can enjoy the walk on the 18th. From the fairway, the American plays a great pitching wedge to 12-feet, leaving himself a look at birdie on the final hole.

FAIRWAY FOUND

That’s one shot down for Young, who safely finds the fairway with his tee shot at the 18th.

Up ahead, Aaron Rai birdies the final hole to finish in a share of fifth alongside amateur Jackson Koivun and six-time PGA Tour winner, Chris Kirk, with the trio finishing 14-under.

It’s back-to-back bogeys at the 16th and 17th for Young, who three-putts at the penultimate hole.

You can understand the lapse in concentration, though, given that he has led by eight shots for the majority of today. Importantly, Young leads by six going down the 18th and is on-course for a first PGA Tour title.

MEISSNER PARS THE LAST

Excellent week for Mac Meissner, who pars the last for a final round 66 to, currently, sit solo second, which would be his best ever finish on the PGA Tour.

FEDEX CUP DRAMA

This is so, so close! Playing the final hole, Thompson races his birdie putt past the flag and, faced with six-feet coming back, he pulls the attempt left, tapping-in for bogey.

Thompson drops from T6 to T11 and, crucially, is now projected to finish 71st in the FedEx Cup Standings! What’s more, Schmid, who was five-over at one point today, is now projected to finish 70th, with his birdie-birdie-birdie finish possibly being the crucial moment!

BOGEY FOR YOUNG

He is human… At the par 3 16th, Young comes up well short with his tee shot and, following a decent chip, pushes his par putt right. It’s a bogey for the American, who drops back to 23-under.
