Cameron Young wins first PGA Tour title at Wyndham Championship

AMERICAN golfer Cameron Young secured his long-awaited first PGA Tour victory with a commanding performance at the Wyndham Championship. Young carded a final-round 68 to finish at 22-under 258, six strokes clear of runner-up Mac Meissner. The 28-year-old started the day with a five-shot lead and quickly erased an early bogey with five consecutive birdies, including a 26-foot putt at the third hole. Despite late bogeys at 16 and 17, Young sealed the win with a tap-in par at the 18th. “I’ve been waiting for it for awhile,“ Young said. “I never thought I’d really be that emotional about it, but it’s the end of my fourth season and I’ve had my chances. Never quite like this—and I wasn’t going to let it get away from me today.” The victory at Sedgefield Country Club held special significance for Young, who played collegiate golf at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. The win also strengthens his case for a Ryder Cup spot, with US captain Keegan Bradley set to finalize his team for September’s showdown against Europe. Meissner finished second at 16-under 264 after a 66, while Sweden’s Alex Noren and American Mark Hubbard tied for third at 265. Amateur Jackson Koivun shared fifth place with Chris Kirk and England’s Aaron Rai. The tournament marked the end of the PGA Tour’s regular season, with the top 70 players advancing to the FedEx Cup playoffs. Kirk’s strong finish propelled him from 73rd to 61st in the standings, securing his playoff berth. - AFP

Ferrari boss backs frustrated Hamilton after tough Hungarian GP

Ferrari boss backs frustrated Hamilton after tough Hungarian GP

LEWIS Hamilton received strong backing from Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur after a difficult Hungarian Grand Prix, where the Briton finished a disappointing 12th. While teammate Charles Leclerc secured pole but struggled with mechanical issues, Hamilton battled in the midfield, ending where he started. Hamilton’s frustration was evident after qualifying, where he exited in Q2 and admitted feeling “completely useless.” His struggles have fueled speculation about his adaptation to Ferrari following his high-profile move from Mercedes. However, Vasseur dismissed concerns over Hamilton’s motivation. “I don’t need to motivate him,“ said Vasseur. “Honestly, he’s frustrated, but not demotivated. He’s demanding, but I think it’s also why he’s a seven-time world champion. I can perfectly understand this situation.” The Ferrari boss acknowledged the emotional reactions common in high-pressure sports, comparing them to outbursts seen in football. “Sometimes, just after the race or qualifying, you are very disappointed, and the first reaction is harsh,“ he added. Vasseur pointed out that Hamilton’s struggles were exaggerated by the narrow margins in qualifying. “For sure, when you are a seven-time world champion, your teammate is on pole, and you are out in Q2, it’s tough,“ he said. “But overall, we were not far from having both cars out in Q2.” Leclerc also supported his teammate, calling Hamilton’s struggles a “one-off” and predicting a stronger second half of the season. “I have no doubt he will bounce back,“ said Leclerc. Hamilton, currently sixth in the standings, is looking forward to the summer break before the Dutch Grand Prix later this month. - AFP
