Friday wasn’t just a fluke. It wasn’t merely a jolt of energy from Cameron Young, the Westchester County native making his Ryder Cup debut.
After securing a point for Team USA during four-ball Friday afternoon, Young remained in the lineup Saturday morning for foursomes and proceeded to pair with Bryson DeChambeau for a 4 & 2 victory over Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Åberg — which served as the Americans’ only point of the morning.
He became the first Team USA player to win the first two matches of his career, with both by at least four points, since Patrick Reed in 2014.
Only three Americans (Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Ted Kroll) have won their first three Ryder Cup matches by at least four holes, and Young couldn’t become the fourth after a 2-down loss to Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowr
