Young had previously played for Team USA at the Presidents Cup in 2022, when the team went on to win the event. He now looks to make his debut at the Ryder Cup later this year by showcasing his golf skills at the PGA Tour events leading up to the biennial team event. Young is leading the Wyndham Championship scoreboard by five strokes heading into the final round.

Young played himself into contention right from day one of the Sedgefield event. He put up an incredible performance to grab the lead in the second round and has held on to it ever since.

During his post-round press conference after round three, the 28-year-old was asked about Ryder Cup being his goal for the year. Young, who is from Scarsborough, New York, shared his fondness toward Bethpage as he said:

"I think that that location is, first of all, one of my favorite golf courses in the world. I have a lot of good memories there playing the New York State Open and I'm sure a New York crowd would be, I at least hope, on my side to some extent."

Young emphasized on how making the U.S. Ryder Cup team has been his goal the whole year and even tries to picture himself in the position. He shared his disappointment over not making it to the 2023 Ryder Cup team:

"It hurt pretty bad to miss it a couple years ago. I was ninth on the points list and didn't get picked, so I was a bit frustrated with that.

Set out the year to give our captain no choice, and I don't know if I'm in a position to do that or not, but it would take some really good golf between now and then."

Cameron Young will hope to be a captain's pick for the event later this year and fulfill his dream. He stands 19th on the points table at the moment with 4413.64 points.
