by Cameron Young continues to make a convincing file for a berth in the US Ryder Cup team.
Friday, his districts were composed and he sorted up five of the six holes and half of the holes at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta en route to hide an 82-62 in the second round of the touring championship.
“You just have to hit my corners very well, controlled my distance very well, and the Greens were just soft enough so that it does not bounce either, but nothing really runs much either,” said Young.
He had 15 green at a putt, including each hole on the nine rear. He ranked first in SG: approach green and second in SG: Put. Young has stuck seven approach to less than 7 feet in its last eight holes. Her 29 at home marked his lowest holes that season. He also equaled his lowest round this season, a 62 in the second round of the Wyndham championship. This propelled him to a total of 36 holes of 11-mine of 129, two blows in advance and alone in third place.
“I did a very good job enjoying a day where if you control, you went to have a good appearance,” said Young.
His chances of making the US Ryder Cup team as the choice of Keegan Bradley captain has been increasing since he won the Wyndham championship for his title PGA Tour. He finished fifth at the Fedex St. Jude championship thanks to a last round 64 and 11th Last week at the BMW championship with 66-65 in the middle of the rounds. After a slow start to the season, he played well all summer, including T-4 at the RBC Canadian Open and T-4 at the US Open. Bradley noted and is probably aware that Young was the most improved putter on tour this season – from No. 145 to SGP last year at n ° 7 this season.
“He was incredibly encouraging for me. He obviously looks at everyone very closely, and he was very nice to reach out and show enthusiasm and support when I played well,” said Young about Bradley. “But yes, I know he has a lot on his plate, so I do not expect a ton of him. But he was very nice to me, and I appreciate all consideration that he gave me to put me in this team.”
When he was asked to assess what he had in his favor for a choice, he said: “Think that the recent form is somehow difficult to deny. Aside from that, it is my original state, it is a golf course that I like. It is almost exclusively a major championship place, and my main records are quite good. I think there are a few points that if I had to do my cases, these are the things I want to know.
Young’s affinity for Bethpage Black dates back to its success to play there in New York State open. He once pulled a last round 64, which at the time was the record for the course and won the playoffs.
“I always liked. It’s a simple and simple golf course. But it’s just simple. It is difficult. It’s the kind of golf that I like.
And in case he has not yet asserted his point of view, he said that he loved the course for the third time.
“Happy to play there at any time,” he said.
