FARMINGDALE, New York :Cameron Young's dream is finally becoming reality, and it couldn't be scripted any better as the New York native will make his Ryder Cup debut this week at the same Bethpage Black course where he tasted success as an amateur.
The 28-year-old has had this week's Ryder Cup on his radar ever since Bethpage Black was announced as the venue in 2013, making his selection as one of U.S. captain Keegan Bradley's six picks all the more meaningful.
"Since it was announced. I think I would have been in high school. It's been quite some time," Young told reporters on Wednesday when asked about his Ryder Cup aspirations.
