Cameron Young Holds Five-Stroke 54-Hole Lead at Wyndham Championship

His 20-under-par 54-hole total positions him to claim his first PGA Tour title with the regular season ending

Overview

  • Young fired a bogey-free 65 in Saturday’s third round to reach 20-under 190, eclipsing the tournament’s 54-hole scoring record
  • The five-shot cushion is the largest 54-hole lead of his career and no player has lost such a margin in over three years
  • Colombia’s Nico Echavarria is second at 15-under after a 64, with Aaron Rai, Mac Meissner and Chris Kirk tied for third at 12-under
  • A victory Sunday would end Young’s run of seven runner-up finishes and bolster his Ryder Cup candidacy ahead of postseason selections
  • Sunday’s final round at Sedgefield Country Club will also finalize the top 70 players advancing to the FedEx Cup playoffs
