Young’s Breakthrough & FedEx Cup Shake‑Up

Wyndham Championship Recap

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The regular season is in the books, and Cameron Young finally has his first PGA Tour win. After years of close calls, the 28‑year‑old went wire‑to‑wire at Sedgefield Country Club, finishing 22‑under and six shots clear of the field.

Young’s week was nothing short of dominant: 63‑62‑65 to open, a new 54‑hole tournament record, and a steady Sunday 68 to slam the door. It also made him the 1,000th different winner in PGA Tour history — a trivia milestone that suits the moment.

FedEx Cup Fallout

The Wyndham’s closing holes always have a knack for drama, and this year was no different:

• Matti Schmid birdied three in a row on the back nine Sunday to grab the 70th and final playoff spot, knocking Davis Thompson out by the slimmest of margins.
• Mac Meissner secured his postseason ticket with a runner‑up finish.
• Rickie Fowler held steady in the top 70 and will head to Memphis with an outside shot at moving into the coveted top 50.

Betting Board & Value Review

If you were holding a Cameron Young ticket, congratulations — he cashed in style.

Some long‑shot names delivered solid returns for top‑10 and top‑20 bettors:

• Jake Knapp continued his strong run, finishing inside the top 15.
• Tom Kim reminded everyone why he’s dangerous at Sedgefield.
• Harry Hall’s putting stroke paid off with another solid finish.

Not all sleepers fired, but sharp prop bettors who backed Jesper Svensson in head‑to‑head markets saw some nice wins.

What’s Next

The FedEx Cup Playoffs begin with the St. Jude Championship in Memphis. The field is now trimmed to 70, and every shot from here counts toward the $25 million FedEx Cup prize.

Players like Young will be looking to ride the momentum, while those on the edge — think 45th to 55th place — will be fighting to move into the top 50 and secure spots in next year’s signature events.

Bottom line: The Wyndham delivered everything it promised — history, heartbreak, and a playoff shake‑up. Now, the regular‑season curtain drops, and the chase for the Cup begins.
