For Cameron Young, this week could mean a heck of a lot more than his first PGA Tour win.
While Young, who leads the Wyndham Championship by five shots entering Sunday’s final round, is seeking to get over the hump after seven runner-up finishes to start his career, he’s also got next month’s Ryder Cup in his home state top of mind.
“I’m trying to just look at that to just take all the small stuff that happens day to day as it comes,” he said. “But in the back of my mind, I’m trying to picture myself on that team.”
Young was left the 2023 Ryder Cup team despite being 9th on the U.S. points list, the highest-ranked player not selected. In his three seasons since his breakout rookie year in 2022, when he finished second at the Open Championship (and four other times), he’s finished no better than 40th in the FedEx Cup standings. That’s where he sits entering the week, but a win would move him up all the way to 16th.
Perhaps more importantly to Young, it will get him as high as 15th in the Ryder Cup standings, far off the top-6 needed to automatically qualify, but it would definitely catch the attention of U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley.
But the Wyndham Championship is still a huge prize itself with an $8.2 million purse and a $1.476 million first-place check.
He’ll also have multi-time PGA Tour winner Nico Echavarria chasing him from behind as well as a host of other players further back.
The payout breakdown for the tournament is below. You can track the final round here, and you can watch the action from 1-3 p.m. ET on Golf Channel and 3-6 p.m. ET on CBS.
In the third round of the 2025 Wyndham Championship, Cameron Young makes birdie on the par-4 17th hole.
