How did Cameron Young perform at the Open Championship 2023?
Ahead of the final round, Cameron Young was in the race for the Open Championship for the second straight year. However, he lost his momentum on the fourth day. He started with a bogey on the first hole and then made another bogey on the fifth hole. After a birdie on the following hole, he made another bogey on the ninth.
The back nine was no better, as he ended up making another bogey on the 16th. He finished the final hole of the event with a birdie to end the fourth round at 2-over 73. He finished at T8, aggregating 5-under after 72 holes.
Speaking at the post-round interview, Young blamed his bad putting for not getting the expected result.
He was quoted as saying via Asap Sports:
"I think if you watched, you probably saw some mediocre putting. I just struggled with the greens all week. I think tee to green I was probably one of the best couple in the field, if not the best, and that definitely let me down this week."
Brian Harman shot 1-under 70 to claim the Open Championship 2023, his first win since 2017. He aggregated at 13-under, six strokes ahead of Tom Kim, Sepp Straka, Jason Day, and Jon Rahm.
