“No. My speed has been awful,“ Young admitted.

*“*Honestly on two of the ones I made on 15 and 16 I hit them both way too hard.

*“*So kind of they’re really tricky and they can certainly get away from you without hitting a terrible putt. I feel like I’ve had some inexcusable three and a half footers coming back after having nine ten, twelve feet for birdie.

“Yeah, it was better today kind of once I think I got past trying to make them as much. Yeah, I’m sure it’ll be quick tomorrow, so just trying to keep getting closer and closer, and hope I get a feel for them.“

Cam Young’s stats through three rounds at the Truist Championship

Young’s ball-striking has been solid at Quail Hollow this week.

He ranks 23rd in strokes gained off the tee and 29th in strokes gained approach.

However, he has excelled with his chipping and pitching and is ranked 1st in strokes gained around the greens, having gained 5.182 shots on the field.

Young is ranked 13th in strokes gained putting and 2nd in strokes gained total.

The three-time PGA Tour winner has gained just over 10 strokes on the field this week in Charlotte.

And despite the fact that he’s trailing Alex Fitzpatrick heading into the final round of the Truist Championship, it would be no surprise at all to see him pick up another win on Sunday.
