The first PGA title of his career was won by American Cameron Young, who won by six shots at the Wyndham Championship.

The 28-year-old, who has seven previous runner-up finishes on the tour at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, shot a two-under-par 68 in the final round.

Sweden’s Alex Noren came third, one stroke further back, while compatriot Mac Meissner came second.

“I never really believed I would feel that way.” Today, I decided not to let it get away from me.

After the third round, Young, who had a lead by five shots, birdied the next five holes and had the opportunity to shoot the 16th and 17th, both by birdie.

He is the PGA Tour winner for the thousandth time.

Young expressed his desire to compete in the Ryder Cup against Europe in September in New York.

Many of us have a goal of supporting that team, he said.

The final event of the regular season for the PGA Tour is the Wyndham Championship.
