PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The Players Championship delivered another dramatic finish at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday, with Cameron Young pulling off the biggest victory of his career.
Young chased down 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick over the closing holes, carding a 4-under 68 to finish at 13-under 275. He edged Fitzpatrick by one stroke and finished two clear of Xander Schauffele. The win was Young’s second on the PGA Tour after a long run of near-misses and came after a breakout victory at the Wyndham Championship in August 2025.
It was Young’s calm under pressure — aided in part by the confidence he gained from stellar Ryder Cup play at Bethpage last fall — that carried him home. He birdied the island-green 17 with a 57-degree wedge and a 9½-foot putt, then drilled a 375-yard drive on the 18th, the longest tee shot recorded at that hole in the ShotLink era, to secure the title.
"The stadium atmosphere on 17 is unbelievable," Young said. "You know all eyes are on you, and I felt like I stepped up and hit some good shots when it mattered."
