Is it crucial to be in Sunday’s final pairing trailing by five shots in a major championship?
If you ask Cameron Young, no.
“I don't think it matters one bit,” Young said Saturday, shortly before it became official: Young, at 7 under, would be paired with Open Championship leader Brian Harman, five shots clear of the second-place Young, on Sunday afternoon at Royal Liverpool.
“It doesn't matter to me,” Young reiterated.
Well, whether it matters or not, should Harman cruise to victory or fall victim to a historic major collapse, Young will have a front-row seat. The two will tee off at 2:15 p.m. local time (9:15 a.m. ET).
