Paul McGinley has one big concern about Cameron Young ahead of the PGA Championship

“You have to think so after that performance but I would have a word of caution and warning. Having won this week, playing the Truist next week and then trying to win the PGA Championship, that is a big, big ask,” he said.

“The other guys are going to be rested. Scottie played this week but is not going to play next week. Rory didn’t play this week but is going to play next week. So the guys are picking and choosing.

“Can Young maintain this? Don’t forget Matt Fitzpatrick too, another one of the hottest players in the game at the moment, along with Cameron Young. He has had a good break this week and should be a little bit fresher.

“My only concern for Young is that he has got everything now, he has the belief, but is he going to be rested enough to play three big tournaments in a row?”

How many in the top 20 at The Masters played both of the previous two PGA Tour events

The leaderboard from The Masters certainly justifies McGinley’s concerns. Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler finished inside the top two at Augusta National despite taking several weeks off from competition for different reasons.

In fact, not a single player in the top 20 at The Masters played in both the Texas Children’s Houston Open and the Valero Texas Open in the two weeks before the first major of the year.

The difference this time is that both the Cadillac Championship and the Truist Championship are signature events, so have the potential to be even more demanding.

Obviously, Young will not be the only big name playing three weeks in a row. But it is going to be very interesting to see how much he has in the tank after tackling Quail Hollow.
