Down two with four holes to play, few thought Young had much of a chance against McIlroy, but the No. 17 player in the world rallied to win the 16th and 18th hole and then top McIlroy in the first extra hole.
“It’s just further proof that I feel like I can hang with anybody in the world,” Young said.
Young is playing his first event with accomplished caddie Paul Tesori, who had been on the bag of Webb Simpson for a dozen years before a recent split. Tesori, a former player, carried Simpson’s bag for all seven of his PGA Tour wins, and had previously worked with Jerry Kelly and then-No. 1 Vijay Singh.
If the early returns are any indication, Tesori is steering Young down a familiar path.
