Cameron Young is a golfer who has often been criticized by fans for not winning a PGA Tour title. The American golfer won his first PGA Tour title with a great performance at the Wyndham Championship. Although he has been close to lifting the trophy for years, the 28-year-old has often encountered obstacles, finishing second in important tournaments.
In an interview with the media, Young admitted that he felt a huge dose of nervousness the morning before the tournament began.
However, the famous golfer knew that after a few holes he would 'break' his nervousness.
Cameron reveals that when it came to the last holes, he did not feel nervous; in fact, he was confident that he could make a big score.
Having self-confidence is key for every golfer, including Young, who knew how to use momentum.

Yeah, honestly, last night was no problem. Like we were out here early, we had to play three holes and then come back and play a whole round of golf. By the time I got home it was dinner, bed, so I really had no issue. This morning I was a little bit more nervous than I expected, but kind of just did my usual stuff. I was a little bit nervous starting out and then by the time I made the second or third birdie, I was just ready to get it done, he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
Yeah, I wasnt nervous at all those last bunch, I just kind of at that point had my foot off the gas and frankly I knew that I could make a couple bogeys and it was just a matter of not hitting it anywhere that I could possibly make a double, which I didnt want to play that way but at some point, you know, I wanted to win by 12 and at some point theres something more important than that probably with four holes to go and an eight-shot lead or whatever it was at the time, I was just trying to get it done. Even though I had a couple putts for par, it was like the least stressful few holes probably of my career.

Cameron Young talks about the pressure
The American golfer surprised many by revealing that he did not feel the pressure because he had not won trophies until now. Young is a person who accepted any scenario, aware that victories would eventually come in the future.
While some expected that the 28-year-old was under enormous pressure, Young was focused on going out on the course and showing his best, not worrying too much about the result.
Cameron felt that he was close to victory for a long time, and the last tournament certainly took the stone off this golfer's back.
