Tamron Young takes five shot lead at Windham Championship eyes’s first PGA Tour win. Imagine being on the cusp of greatness only to have it slip through your fingers time and time again. This is the story of Cameron Young, a golfer who has come agonizingly close to winning on the main tour only to fall short. But here’s where it gets interesting. Young is now in the lead at the PGA Tours Windham Championship and he’s determined to make it count. With a stunning display of skill, Young ran off four straight birdies on the front nine, stretching his lead to eight shots on Saturday. He ultimately settled into a series of pars, finishing with a five under 65 and a five shot lead. But what’s truly remarkable about Young’s story is his perseverance in the face of adversity. Despite being widely considered the best player to never have won on a main tour, he remains focused on his goal of winning a PGA Tour title. And this is the part most people miss. Young’s ultimate goal is to make it onto the RDER Cup team at Beth Paige Black, a dream he’s had since he was a young golfer growing up in New York. as he said himself. I’m trying to just look at that to just take all the small stuff that happens dayto-day as it comes in the back of my mind trying to picture myself on that team. But here’s the controversy. Can Young finally break through and win his first PGA Tour title? Or will he succumb to the pressure and fall short once again? Some might say that his lack of experience in winning major tournaments will hold him back, while others believe that his talent and determination will ultimately propel him to victory. And this is where it gets really interesting. Young’s closest competitor, Nico Echavaria, is hot on his heels, having cut the margin to four shots with three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the back nine. As Echavaria said, I’m just going to worry about what I’m doing. As I said, try to hit the best shots I can and try to hold the putts and we’ll add it up after 18. But what do you think? Can Young hold on to his lead and win his first PGA Tour title or will Echavaria or another competitor snatch victory from his grasp? Let us know in the comments. Meanwhile, other golfers are fighting to make it into the top 70 and advance to the lucrative PGA Tour postseason. Chris Kirk, for example, is at number 73 in the FedEx Cup standings and is tied for third, while Gary Woodland, who is enormously popular after returning from brain surgery nearly 2 years ago, is at number 75 and tied for ninth. As the tournament comes to a close, one thing is certain, the competition is fierce, and only the best will come out on top. So, who will it be? Will Young finally achieve his dream of winning a PGA Tour title or will someone else steal the show? The world is watching and we can’t wait to find out. Eric Vanroyan withdraws from Windham Championship. What happened? Professional golf saw yet another unexpected twist this week and it might have major implications for one player season. Eric Van Royan has officially withdrawn from the 2025 Windham Championship, citing a back injury that forced him to step away from the course late Friday afternoon. A decision that could end up being far more costly than just a missed cut. According to the PGA Tour, Van Royan was competing in his second round when he decided to pull out. At that point, he had completed 14 holes starting on the 10th hole and was one over for the round. Overall, he sat at four over for the tournament, a score that was already well behind the projected cup line of four under, which would have eliminated him anyway. But he is where it gets controversial. Timing may have played a critical role in what happens next. Van Royan’s withdrawal came just 10 minutes after tournament play was suspended due to what officials described as dangerous weather conditions. Some might wonder whether he could have waited out the delay and resumed play later, potentially affecting his standing or at least giving him a chance to improve his score before pulling out. That raises an interesting question. Should withdrawals made immediately after a weather suspension be treated differently in terms of eligibility or standings? This wasn’t the first exit from the event. Four other players had already withdrawn since Sunday, making Van Royan the fifth. However, his situation stands out because of its timing and his position in the FedEx Cup playoffs race. At the time he withdrew, Vanroyan was ranked 68th in the projected FedEx Cup standings, having slipped four spots since the start of the tournament. Only the top 70 players after this week’s results will advance to the first playoff event, the Fed St. Jude Championship in Memphis. So, here’s the real kicker. By dropping to 68th place and now being unable to improve his position, Van Royan likely misses out on the playoffs entirely. And this is the part most people miss. While a missed cup might seem routine, missing the playoffs can be careering. It means no guaranteed prize money beyond this point, fewer opportunities to climb the rankings, and less visibility heading into the new season. But let’s pause for a moment. Is this fair? Should a player’s season really hinge on one poor performance or a minor injury at the end of a long season? or should there be some kind of grace period or reconsideration process for players on the bubble? What do you think? Should Van Royan have been allowed to continue if play resumed after the weather delay? And more broadly, should the PGA Tour reconsider how they handle withdrawals around severe weather interruptions? Share your thoughts below. We’d love to hear whether you believe this outcome was avoidable or simply the result of unfortunate timing. 2025 Windham Championship. Cameron Young sets new record with five-stroke lead. Could this be the moment Cameron Young has been waiting for? After an impressive third round score of 65, Young has surged to an astonishing 20 under par at the 2025 Windham Championship, setting a new record for the lowest 54 hole score in the tournament’s history. With a commanding five-stroke lead over Nico Echavaria, he stands on the brink of achieving his first career victory on the PGA Tour. An accomplishment that would mark him as the 1,000th unique winner in the tour’s storied history. This moment has been a long time coming for Young, who has experienced his fair share of near misses. In his four seasons on the PGA Tour, he has finished as a runner up seven times, the highest number of second place finishes for any player without a win since 1983. Additionally, he boasts an impressive tally of 22 top 10 finishes. If he manages to secure the win, it would not only be a personal triumph, but also a significant milestone in PGA Tour history. Young’s performance thus far has been nearly flawless with 22 birdies and only two bogeies over his 54 holes. He entered the third round with a three-stroke advantage over competitors Mesner and Sunj Im. Having had to return to the course early Saturday morning to complete his second round. Despite some challenging weather conditions, Young demonstrated remarkable resilience. After starting his third round with two consecutive pars, he quickly found his rhythm, reeling off four birdies in a row to extend his lead to as much as eight strokes. While the rest of the field struggled to keep pace, Young seized the opportunity to widen the gap between himself and his challengers. Although the birdies slowed down in the middle of his round, Young maintained his composure. He recorded a series of pars and a bogey on the tough par4 14th hole, but he bounced back with a couple more birdies to ensure his lead remained substantial as he finished his round. While it seems Young is on the verge of victory, the competition is not yet over. Etchavaria, a two-time PGA Tour winner, made a strong move on Saturday with a score of 64, positioning himself as Young’s closest rival heading into the final round. Starting the week ranked 65th in the FedEx Cup standings, Etchavaria could potentially break into the top 50 with a strong finish as only the top 70 players will advance to the FedEx Cup playoffs next week. As for the leaderboard, here’s how it stands. One, Cameron Young minus 20. Two, Niko Echavaria 15. T3, M. Mesner, Aram Ry Chris Kirk -12. Six Jackson Couvenus 11 T7 Matt Fitzpatrick Davis Thompson minus 10 T9 Alex Norin Gary Woodland Joel Dharm – 9 with 27 holes remaining in the tournament. Etchavaria found himself trailing by eight strokes at one point. However, he managed to close the gap to four strokes after making a birdie on the par five 15th hole while Young recorded a rare bogey on the hole behind him. Yet Young quickly regained his five-stroke lead with a birdie on number 17. Etchavaria’s season has been somewhat inconsistent, but he has a knack for staying competitive when he finds himself in contention. He has only two top 10 finishes this year, including a playoff loss to Nick Taylor at the Sony Open and a recent T6 at the Rocket Classic, where he finished just two strokes shy of the playoff. The final round of the regular season is not just about crowning a champion. It also plays a crucial role in playoff positioning. Players like Woodland and Thompson have managed to secure their spots within the projected cutoff. But others such as Cam Davis, who has slipped to number 72, will need a strong performance to climb back into contention. First round leader Joel Dharm, currently ranked number 101, must catch Etchavaria to qualify for the postseason. But even finishing within the top 100 would be a significant achievement given the heightened competition on the PGA Tour this fall. Here’s a look at some notable players and their projected FedEx Cup standings. Chris Kirk, projected 59, official 73, tournament position T3, minus12. Matty Schmid, projected 65, official 70, tournament position T13, minus 8. Davis Thompson, projected 68, official 78, tournament position T7, minus 10. Gary Woodland, projected 70, official 75, tournament position T9, minus 9. Eric Vanroyan, projected 71, official 64, NC missed cut. Cam Davis, projected 72, official 67, tournament position T37, minus 5. As we look ahead to the final round, the odds are as follows. Cameron Young minus 550, Nico Echaria 13 over two, Aaron Ry 28 to1, Chris Kirk 45 to1. While the excitement is palpable, it seems likely that Young will secure his first PGA Tour victory, leveraging his five-stroke lead. His exceptional putting has elevated his game to a new level, enabling him to fend off Etchavaria and the rest of the field. But what do you think? Will Young finally break through or could Etchavaria pull off an upset?
