<\/p>\nCameron Young achieved his first PGA Tour win at the 94th time of asking with a stunning victory at the Wyndham Championship on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Young finished six shots clear of second-placed Mac Meissner at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, after a blistering four days of golf saw him become the 1000th winner in PGA Tour history, shooting 63, 62, 65 and 68 for the week.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old began the day with a five shot lead and, after seven second place finishes previously on the PGA Tour, could have been forgiven for having a few nerves after bogeying the first but he then reeled off five straight birdies – achieving such a streak for the second time across the four days – to widen his gap with the rest of the field.<\/p>\n
Young stayed composed until bogeys on the 16th and the 17th saw him tie the tournament scoring record, rather than set a new one. He didn’t mind though, and was relieved to finally break his duck.<\/p>\n

Shot of the Day – Karl Vilips made a hole-in-one from 179-yards at the Wyndham Championship!<\/p>\n
“I’ve been waiting for it for a while,” Young said, his voice steady as tears welled in his eyes. “I never thought I’d be that emotional about it. But it’s the end of my fourth season. I’ve had my chances and I wasn’t going to let it get away from me.”<\/p>\n
Playing partner Nicolas Echavarria dropped five shots in the three holes following the turn to plummet down the leaderboard and shot a 75 for the day to finish 10-under par in a tie for 19th.<\/p>\n
Defending champion Aaron Rai was within a shot of the lead when the second round was suspended due to bad weather<\/a> but the Englishman finished the tournament in a tie for fifth at 14-under par and couldn’t quite recapture his Thursday and Friday form at the weekend.<\/p>\n Twitter<\/p>\n This content is provided by Twitter, which may be using cookies and other technologies.
