00:04He's been playing some good golf.

00:06He's got great history at this course.

00:08Tell me about Cameron Young this week.

00:11At this point, I think Cameron Young would have learned a lot from Tommy Fleetwood last week.

00:16You've got to be at a place where you're going to play aggressively

00:18if you're going to break through and you're going to win on the PGA Tour.

00:22Last year, he was sixth place at the Rocket Classic.

00:25A couple years ago, in 2022, he was the runner-up.

00:28He was fourth at the RBC Canadian.

00:30He had a chance to win there.

00:31He didn't break through.

00:32He was fourth at the U.S. Open.

00:34The guy's number one in the field in strokes game putting.

00:36That's not hyperbole, Mike.

00:38That is actually true.

00:39He's number one in the field in strokes game putting.

00:42I really feel like this is an opportunity for him at a comfortable place with comfortable agronomy.

00:47You know, the guy's grown up in the Northeast.

00:49He's played a million Donald Ross golf courses in his lifetime.

00:52He's proven he could play here before.

00:54And the guys at the top of the board, Cantley, Morikawa.

00:57I mean, Ben Griffin's probably your best playing favorite right now.

01:00And maybe Keegan, but, you know, I don't say Keegan because what's the chances of going back-to-back?

01:05I mean, Cam has a real chance here, and he knows it.

01:08And last year, you know, he was in the final group going into the final round.

01:12He knows what to do here.

01:13He could definitely get it done.

01:15He definitely could get it done.

01:17And, man, it would be great for back-to-back hat tricks on a golf Wednesday.

01:21If we could get Cameron forever young into the winner's circle this weekend in Detroit.
