Cameron Young’s switch to a Pro V1x prototype golf ball has proven to be a game-changer. The 28-year-old golfer won the Wyndham Championship, his first victory on the PGA Tour, by six strokes. Young dominated the competition over the weekend at TPC Sedgefield.
According to Titleist, Young’s performance with the Pro V1x prototype was impressive, particularly in tight draws and shots that stayed more in play. He showed great control and hit some remarkable shots, including a 6-iron that landed just past the pin on the par-3 seventh hole.
Young asked the Titleist team to put the new balls in his locker after nine holes on Tuesday, indicating his confidence in their performance. The rest, as they say, is history. Young’s win puts him in contention for a Ryder Cup pick in September.
Other golfers also made notable equipment changes, including Rickie Fowler, who switched to graphite Aerotech SteelFiber 125cw shafts in his Cobra King Tour irons. Fowler believes the change will be easier on his body and has seen similar results in his practice rounds. Jordan Spieth is feeling confident about his game, stating that he could return to major-winning form with one good offseason.
While changes to golf equipment are nothing new, Young’s success suggests that a ball switch can make all the difference. His win marks an exciting finish to the Wyndham Championship and sets him up for a strong Ryder Cup bid.
