Cameron Young shot 8-under 62 in the second round of the Tour Championship, putting him in third place. Young's recent strong performances, including a win at the Wyndham Championship, have increased his chances of being a Ryder Cup captain's pick. Young's improved putting and strong major championship record are key factors in his favor.

Young is currently No. 14th on the U.S. Ryder Cup points list. That can be attributed to a slow start to the season, in which he had only two top 10s until June. Since then, though, he has five in eight starts, finishing first, fifth and 11th in his last three events. He believes his recent run strengthens his case.
