22 top-10s, 7 runner-up finishes, 94 tournaments played, a story 4 years in the making, and Cameron Young has finally crossed the bridge. And what an emphatic way to do it as well. He dominated all four rounds of the 2025 Wyndham Championship. In the end, the leaderboard showed him at the top with a 6-stroke deficit against the field. As his hard work had finally paid off, Young was a bit emotional at Greensboro. And Amanda Balionis caught every bit of it in an exclusive interview directly from the Sedgefield Country Club.
As shared by Golf on CBS, Balionis asked Young how he feels about finally becoming a PGA Tour champion. The 28-year-old replied, “It’s… I’ve been waiting for it for a while. I never thought I’d really be that emotional about it. But it’s the end of my fourth season, and I’ve had my chances. Never quite like this, and I wasn’t going to let it get away from me today.” And he indeed didn’t let the golden opportunity get away from him. After getting a 5-stroke lead at the end of 54 holes, Young was determined to keep the momentum going on Championship Sunday. He scored 2-under 68 to win his first PGA Tour title. Interestingly, the New York-born also became the 1,000th unique golfer to win a PGA Tour championship.

Doing it in North Carolina was even more special, considering he has spent a lot of his life here. He attended Wake Forest University, located approximately 30 miles from the course. As Balionis mentioned, his father was also there to support him for his big win, before she asked him how special it was to reach the milestone here. Young replied, “Yeah, it’s great. My dad’s here, which is really nice. Unfortunately, it’s one of the couple of times my whole family is not here, so I’m missing them. I’m looking forward to seeing them. They’re going to meet me in Memphis. It’s a great spot to do it. It’s a great test of golf. I’ve proved that I can play really well. I did it last year and am happy to give myself another chance this year.”
