Cameron Young A Player To Avoid At Arnold Palmer Invitational
9 hours agoCameron Young has been the definition of boom-or-bust this season, posting finishes of T8 and T12, but also struggling with a 72nd-place finish and three missed cuts in his first six events. He now turns his attention to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he has competed in the past, recording results of T36, T10, and T13 over the last three years. To succeed at Bay Hill, players need to be sharp off the tee and excel with long irons, especially with forecasted winds exceeding 20 mph this weekend. Young has been solid off the tee, gaining 0.532 strokes per round (18th on tour), but has struggled with accuracy, hitting just 50.37% of fairways (168th). His approach game has also been lacking, as he loses 1.018 strokes per round, ranking 176th. Though he has been a strong putter this season, hitting greens in regulation will be crucial at Bay Hill, and Young ranks 155th on tour in this category. Given his inconsistencies this season, back-to-back missed cuts, and lack of solid approach play, fantasy managers should avoid Young at his $7,000 price tag on DraftKings this week.
