‘Calm and composed’ Cameron Young was impressive on Day 1

The 26-year-old looked calm and composed and brilliantly smashed the first tee despite the pressure of representing his country on one of the biggest stages.

The rookie of the year let fly a brutal cut which averaged 319.3 yards per pop and gained nearly a full stroke off the tee per round. This shot was second only to Spanish professional golfer Jon Rahm.

Earlier this month, the young golfer also revealed that he was lured by LIV Golf but decided to stay put with PGA Tour. “I mean, frankly, I have decided to stay,” Young said. “So, I don’t know, it’s a really difficult situation because it’s not really anything anyone wanted to happen. I think it wasn’t meant to be this hostile between the two.”

According to the reports he was close to joining the Saudi-backed league but he wanted to represent his country at the Presidents Cup and he is surely making the country proud doing that.

“Obviously it’s the elephant in the room for everyone. Frankly, throughout the whole process with (LIV Golf), I was very interested. I think they have a bunch of good ideas and are doing some cool stuff,” explained Young.

“With some of the changes coming (to the PGA Tour), that’s kind of what really helped me decide to kind of stay and pursue those goals that I have for myself like making a Presidents Cup team and a Ryder Cup team and winning a major, when all of that is just uncertain if you go. That’s a tough place for me because, you know, I’m very young and there are a lot of factors.”
