Since securing his PGA Tour card for the 2021/22 season, Cameron Young has seriously impressed in his rookie year, with multiple runner-up finishes putting him inside the World’s top 50 for the very first time.
Young did have his good friend Scott McKean on the bag but he turned up to The Open Championship with a new bagman, Chad Reynolds, who has worked for Keegan Bradley and Vijay Singh
“I kind of, as much as I’ve had a solid year, there’s been a couple things missing, I think,” Young said. “I haven’t won anything, and that was just something that could change to kind of exhaust all my options to see what I could do better.

Since that moment, the duo have enjoyed plenty of success. In May 2021, Young won back-to-back Korn Ferry Tour events and went on to finish 19th on the 2020–21 regular-season points list, earning a PGA Tour card for 2021–22.
