Cameron Young 'angered and frustrated' after another near miss on PGA Tour at RBC Canadian Open

Cameron Young admitted to feeling a mix of "a lot of anger and a bit of frustration" after another close call on the PGA Tour - this time at the RBC Canadian Open. 

Young, 28, trailed clubhouse leader Sam Burns by one shot at the time as he headed down the par-5 18th and he just needed a birdie to force extra holes. 

The big-hitting American split the fairway and then sent a towering 3-wood from 260 yards and into the wind over the back of the green. 

A disbelieving Young was then left with a delicate shot from the deep rough with water beyond the pin. 

Young proceeded to duff his chip shot from there and went on to make a costly bogey-six.

It all added up to a 65 and Young finished in a tie for fourth on 16-under par. 

The result marked his best finish on the PGA Tour since a solo second at the Valspar Championship in March 2024. 

He also takes consolation from having picked up one of three spots from the Canadian Open into the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush. 

But Young's frustration after the round was clear for all to see, along with his biggest fans on social media. 

That's because Young is still going in search of a first PGA Tour title and he has seven runner-up finishes to his name. 

While Young was pleased with his best performance of the season at TPC Toronto, he was angered by the way his 3-wood had sailed over the back of the 18th green from outside of 260 yards into the breeze. 

"At this very moment, a lot of anger, a bit of frustration," said Young, when asked by a reporter to describe his emotions right now.

"I couldn't have hit two better shots on the last hole. 

"I don't hit 3-wood that far, and it's blowing straight into the wind, and it decided to bounce all the way to the back woods.

"I thought in the air I was going to have about a 12-footer to win the tournament, and it ended up somewhere I was going to struggle to make par, let alone make a 4. 

"Pretty upset. Played pretty well. Kind of just want to go home right now."

Young qualified for next week's U.S. Open after coming through Monday's qualifier in a playoff. 

When asked how he intends to reset mentally ahead of Oakmont, Young said he will just need to take a moment. 

"After the next 15 minutes when I'm a little mad, it will be back to business as usual," said a frustrated Young.

"I'm playing really nicely. I don't think I'll have to reset much. It's kind of just get there and go through what we've been doing and see where that puts us on Sunday.

"I feel like all the parts of my game are in a place where I can be in a similar position next week, and I expect to do that."

When pressed as to how Oakmont sets up for his game, Young, replied: "I've never been there, so I have no idea.

"I would assume, if you drive it straight, you've got a better chance than most, and I've been driving really well. 

"So we'll see what happens there."

Young has been applauded by PGA Tour fans for still taking time to speak with the media after a difficult finish to the tournament.

Unlike a number of certain players lately. 

Ryan Fox birdied the par-5 18th from 20 feet to force extra holes with Burns.

Fox then chalked up up his second title in his last four starts with a birdie at the fourth extra hole.
