Matt Brown said he is loading up on Cameron Young this week. He laid ‑115 on Young over Robert MacIntyre and ‑105 on Young over Justin Thomas, then added a Top-10 ticket at +125 that was hanging off-market at BetMGM. Brown’s logic is straightforward: Young has closed the last two tournaments with strong weekends and profiles perfectly for East Lake—long and, more importantly, accurate with the driver. That combination should play on a course where fairway position is everything. Conversely, Brown wants to attack opponents whose games do not fit. He noted Justin Thomas’ season-long troubles finding fairways and suggested MacIntyre could be flat after last week’s grind. With the Scottish left-hander power-ranked well below Young in his numbers, Brown feels the price gap is still too small, making all three bets worth firing.

Bydlon recommended attacking matchup markets with Cameron Young, betting him –115 over Robert MacIntyre and –105 over Justin Thomas. Young’s length and accuracy off the tee align with East Lake’s premium on total driving, and he closed strongly at the BMW, suggesting no let-up in form. By contrast, Bydlon cited season-long accuracy issues for Thomas and noted MacIntyre’s grueling schedule heading into Atlanta. With Young power-ranking well above both opponents in his model, Bydlon sees these near-pick-em prices as mis-tagged and expects the American to win both matchups.

Barnett is willing to back Cam Young at +140 for a top-10 finish and considers the 30-to-1 outright a fringe sprinkle. Young’s length fits East Lake’s par-5s, and Barnett highlighted that Young still needs Ryder Cup points, giving him rare extra motivation compared to many in the field.

Pat Mayo floated a straight-forecast angle: instead of the ‘without Scheffler’ market, bet Scheffler 1st and Cameron Young 2nd at 45-1. He reasoned that the exact-finish ticket offers more than double the non-Scheffler odds (≈20-1) while capturing the same thesis that Scheffler dominates and Young is best of the rest. Mayo admits you have fewer outs, but likes the payout if you’re already building around that leaderboard shape.

Mills lumped Cameron Young with Burns and Griffin as Round-1 bets that are ‘great form, great first-round scoring’ yet remain +2500 in a 29-man field. He stressed that Young’s explosive driver routinely gives him birdie looks early and that these odds are identical to full-field events, creating what he called ‘serious value’ for anyone chasing a first-round leader dart.

Everill liked Pat Mayo’s boosted 35-1 on Cam Young, pointing out the American is still auditioning for a Ryder Cup captain’s pick. That urgency should keep him grinding all four rounds regardless of early position. Young’s recent ball-striking surge aligns with East Lake’s demand to keep drives in the fairway to avoid thick collar rough introduced in last year’s renovation. With everyone starting at even par, Everill believes Young’s combination of length, motivation, and improved accuracy makes him an appealing outright or top-5 wager at long odds.

John Schwarb played Cameron Young Top-5 at +450. Keegan Bradley announces captain’s picks next week, and Schwarb believes Young’s Wyndham win put him on the bubble. A big showing at East Lake would all but punch his ticket to Bethpage. The added stakes plus his ceiling tee-to-green make +450 enticing.

Gehman is going right back to Cameron Young after an 11th at Caves Valley that masked elite form. Young entered off a win at Wyndham and a 5th at South Wind, then lost three strokes on Thursday and still gained 3.3 tee-to-green for the week despite five penalty strokes. Gehman’s power rankings have Young 5th over the last 24 rounds, and he believes a top-3 finish is well within reach, making Young a strong GPP play in the 7K tier.

Byron Lindeque plans to "go overboard" on Cameron Young, aiming to double the field’s exposure. He expects ownership projections to come in lighter than they should for Young at his mid-7K salary and believes the bomber’s volatility scares casual players. In a no-cut, 30-man slate, Lindeque wants Young’s top-five upside anchoring balanced lineups while the crowd wanders elsewhere.

Byron Lindeque called Cameron Young a fair 20-to-1 outright in the no-Scheffler pool, stressing that East Lake is a ‘big-time driver golf course’ and Young’s driver is an ‘absolute weapon.’ Lindeque added that Young’s putting has quietly improved, so if the elite off-the-tee play shows up he has tournament-winning upside at a price depressed only by Scheffler’s presence in the main market.

Sia Nejad anchored his early betting card with Cam Young at 30-1, adding Sam Burns and Harris English as secondary bullets. Nejad likes Young’s elite driver and overall tee-to-green profile—a perfect fit given that seven of last year’s top eight finishers at East Lake were also top-eight tee-to-green. With the TOUR likely to set the course up for birdies to boost drama, Nejad wants an explosive scorer and feels the 30-1 price is longer than it should be in a no-cut, 30-man field. He called the number “my card” on the spot, signalling conviction in Young’s ceiling.

Brian Kirschner played Cam Young Top-10 at +225, arguing the New Yorker’s "elite length off the tee" aligns perfectly with Caves Valley’s new par-70 setup, while his current "serious prowess with the flatstick" removes the typical short-game question marks. With Young’s recent form already pointing up, Kirschner sees little reason that trend stops in a trimmed-down field fighting for Tour Championship positioning.

Matt Cooper advised a 1-point each-way wager on Cameron Young at 30/1 for the BMW Championship, stressing that Caves Valley accentuates Young’s two elite weapons: power driving and an increasingly reliable flat stick. Young ranked second in Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee when breaking through at the Wyndham two weeks ago and first last week while finishing fifth at the St Jude, proof that his mid-season slide (35th OTT on the year) is behind him. Young has publicly declared his putting mechanics 'better than ever,' a claim backed by season-long gains on bent-grass greens. Cooper also highlighted course fit—Caves Valley is a Tom Fazio design, and Young’s Korn Ferry win at The Glen Club came on another Fazio track. Historically, the New Yorker piles results together (prior heaters of 2-3-2 and 4-4 immediately after wins), so Cooper sees 30/1 plus five-place terms as premium value on a player riding obvious momentum.

Will Gray backed Cameron Young to win the BMW Championship at +3000. Gray noted Young’s victory at the Wyndham Championship two weeks ago and said the ball-striking numbers actually looked even cleaner in Memphis, where Young drove the ball longer and straighter than the field average but could not buy a putt. Gray believes the recent win has flipped a confidence switch and that Caves Valley’s generous fairways will allow Young to keep leaning on his driver – the club that fueled a closing 63 at Wyndham. With momentum peaking and odds still in the mid-30-to-1 range, Gray called Young "a good time to gain traction" for outright tickets.

Referencing PGATour.com’s expert picks, Giannotto noted Cameron Young at +2500 as a mid-tier outright with ceiling. Young captured the Wyndham Championship two weeks ago and, according to PGA Tour ShotLink data, actually gained more strokes ball-striking in Memphis than he did during the win. With driver back in peak form and confidence high, Giannotto expects Young to continue gaining momentum at a venue that rewards long, aggressive play off the tee.

Brandon Gdula grabbed Cameron Young at 30/1 in the show’s outright draft, calling him the scariest threat in the 30-plus price tier. He believes public fatigue has discounted Young’s upside even though the data remains strong: +1.44 strokes-gained ball-striking over his last 36 rounds, top-five in the field. Gdula added that Caves Valley rewards distance, a Young specialty, and suggested that a season of adversity could be the catalyst for a breakout week. With win equity similar to golfers priced in the low 20s, Gdula recommended an outright bet on Young at 30/1 for the BMW Championship.

Brandon Gdula said Cameron Young is his favorite outright at 30-1 for the BMW Championship because the skill-set combo is almost unmatched in this 49-man field. Young ranks sixth in driving distance and fifth in strokes-gained putting over the last 50 rounds, including a 95th-percentile make-rate inside 15 feet on the entire PGA TOUR. His irons are trending up — positive approach numbers in four of his past five starts and +0.38 SG:Approach per round across his last 36 — which Gdula believes unlocks "spike-week" upside. Coming off a win and a follow-up fifth-place finish, Young finally has the confidence to close, something Gdula likened to the early Xander Schauffele breakthrough. In a small, elite field, he views that length-and-putting recipe as a birdie factory and is willing to pay the shorter number for the ceiling.

Brandon Gdula pitched Cameron Young at 30-to-1 as his favorite longer-odds outright. He wants two traits this week—distance and putting—and Young ranks 6th in driving distance and 5th in strokes-gained putting over his last 50 rounds, good for the 93rd and 95th percentiles on Tour. Young followed what Gdula termed a "dominant win at the Wyndham" with a 5th-place finish last week, hinting at a hot streak and the clustered-wins pattern common among elite talents. Caves Valley’s long par-4s should accentuate Young’s power, and the recent putting surge provides ceiling that had been missing earlier in the season. At 30-to-1, Gdula believes bettors are getting rare odds on a player whose statistical profile perfectly matches this venue.

Young sits 35-1 after winning the Wyndham and finishing 5th last week, but Bo wants a longer number. If books drift him to 40-45, McBrayer will fire, citing elite driving distance, improved approach play over his last few starts, a recent putting spike, and bent-grass being his best surface. The newfound "albatross off his back" from finally winning gives added confidence.

Matthew Wiley remains bullish on Cam Young, insisting the bomber is "not done." Young gained four strokes putting two weeks ago—second-best in the field—and Wiley believes that breakthrough with the flat stick is the missing ingredient. Pair that with Young’s elite driver and scoring irons, and Wiley sees clear top-10 equity and latent win upside at mid-tier odds and DFS pricing. He recommends overweight exposure in tournaments and adding Young to outright cards at any number north of 30-1.

Matthew Wiley said Cameron Young is absolutely "feasting" right now and should tear apart Caves Valley at the BMW Championship. Wiley’s agronomy contacts convinced him the renovated par-70 has "no teeth," and he projects a −19 winning score that will require roughly 25 birdies. He stressed driving distance will matter on the long par-4s and noted Young’s elite length will leave him short irons all week. Young still ranks near the top of Wiley’s last-30-day weighted model, and his birdie-or-better rate fits the required scoring environment. Wiley labeled Young a priority outright bet and a high-ceiling DFS play.

Matthew Wiley said Cameron Young is "on a trajectory" and declared he can win the BMW Championship, backing the play at +3000 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Wiley noted Young was striping it last week and, with what Wiley called "the million pounds off his back," is finally converting elite ball-striking into top finishes. In a 50-man, no-cut field Wiley expects plenty of birdies, so he wants an aggressive scorer who can take advantage of the two remaining par-5s. Young’s recent form, driving distance, and streaky hot putting fit that profile, making +3000 an actionable outright ticket and a core DFS play in Wiley’s pool.

David Barnett said Cameron Young was the first name that stopped him when scrolling the odds board and immediately clicked the 30-1 outright. Barnett argued the Wilmington routing rewards heavy drivers who can carry bunkers, a skill Young flashed when he ranked 6th in total driving carry in the Bet-The-Number database. He added that Young sits 14th in the Ryder Cup standings, giving him added motivation to keep his foot on the gas, and pointed to Young’s last five starts (four top-25s with +1.4 strokes-gained tee-to-green per round) as proof the ball-striking has rounded back into form. With no cut in a 49-man field and the “monkey off his back” after last season’s playoff win, Barnett believes Young’s win equity is meaningfully higher than his 30-1 price implies.

Farnsworth acknowledged Cameron Young’s win and recent top-5 but argued the $9,800 salary leaves little room for error. Young fits the course on paper, yet Farnsworth prefers using the cap elsewhere given comparable upside in cheaper ranges. He framed Young as playable but likely overpriced for his own builds.

Gannon recommended Cameron Young at $9,800, stressing that you ‘play the hot golfer.’ Young’s recent surge is built on booming drives, crisp mid-irons, and an uptick in putting. One more top-10 virtually locks his Ryder Cup berth, and Gannon expects his driver-friendly skill set to flourish on Caves Valley’s long bent-grass layout, making Young worth the chalk.

Rick Gehman flatly declared, “Cam Young’s going to win,” after Young graded third in his custom BMW Championship model that still had Scottie Scheffler miles ahead but slotted Young behind only Scheffler and Kurt Kitayama. The model weighted driving distance (15%) and long-term approach (25%), two categories where Young routinely sits near the top of the PGA Tour, along with birdie rate and easy-course scoring that fit Olympia Fields’ expected setup. Gehman plans to bet Young outright and likes pairing him with Kitayama on cards, viewing Young’s power and scoring upside as capable of dethroning the favorites in a 50-man field.

Rick Gehman said Cameron Young might win the BMW Championship and should be a core play in outright markets (30-1 on Monday) and DraftKings builds. Caves Valley rewards length and birdie making, two areas where Young excels. He gained 8.5 strokes tee-to-green during his Wyndham win and another six at last week’s FedEx St. Jude despite a disastrous Saturday; he still picked up five strokes on Sunday. Gehman noted Young’s natural draw has returned after recent swing tweaks, fueling confidence, and his last-36-round total strokes gained ranks ninth in the field. With plenty still at stake in the FedEx Cup and a bomber-friendly setup, Gehman views Young as a high-ceiling DFS play and live outright ticket.

Lindeque reluctantly punched a Cameron Young outright at 30-1, arguing Young’s Wyndham Championship victory at 22-under erased the narrative that he only thrives on difficult tracks. Byron emphasized that Young ‘drove the shit out of it and putted the living daylights out of it’ during the win, exactly the combination required this week. Although he expects Young to be a popular DFS play and hates the short number, Byron believes the bomber-putter profile plus fresh winning confidence justify the bet.

Matt Gannon said he was happy to lay roughly –140/–150 for Cameron Young to finish inside the top-20 at the 2025 BMW Championship. With only 50 players teeing it up, Gannon prefers placement markets and called Young "the hot golfer" after cashing a recent ticket on him. He pointed out that the tournament is being played on a long northeast bent-grass track—exactly the grass and region Young grew up on—so course familiarity plus elite current form should translate to another high finish as Young tries to lock up enough FedExCup points to reach Bethpage.

Iain MacMillan played Cameron Young Top-20 at +140, noting Young’s trademark elite ball-striking is now paired with one of the hottest putters on Tour—he gained 2.62 strokes per round on the greens in last week’s victory. MacMillan is surprised the market is still offering plus money.

MacMillan played Young Top-20 at +140 on the belief that last week’s blistering +2.62 strokes-gained putting was a sign the elite ball-striker’s short-game ceiling has finally arrived. With his driver and irons already top tier, MacMillan thinks a merely average week with the flat stick secures a top-20 in a 70-man field.

Sia Nejad said Cameron Young is a sneaky tournament play on DraftKings because the public will fixate on his ugly course history and ignore the underlying numbers. Nejad reminded listeners that in 2022 Young actually led the entire field Tee-to-Green and gained nine full strokes ball-striking, losing the event only with a horrific –5.5 strokes putting week. Fast-forward to 2025 and Young’s putter has been "super smooth," making that statistical profile far more dangerous. With ownership projections well behind popular 8 K chalk such as Ben Griffin and Chris Gotterup, Nejad likes grabbing Young’s ceiling at roughly $8,200 as both a DFS leverage piece and an outright sprinkle.

Sobel’s aggressive outright dart is Cameron Young at +4000. Young snapped a four-year victory drought by winning in Greensboro and Sobel drew a parallel to Lucas Glover’s 2023 Greensboro/Memphis back-to-back, arguing Young owns far more win equity than Glover did. Motivation is high with a potential Ryder Cup berth in his home state of New York on the line, and Young credited renewed chemistry with former Wake Forest teammate–turned-caddie Kyle Sterbinsky for the hot run. Sobel believes Young will keep the gas pedal down while his tee-to-green game is peaking, making +4000 too long.

Joe Idone went back to the Cameron Young well at 40-to-1, citing a "display of ball-striking that was unbelievable" last week. Young gained heavily both from the rough and fairway while finally finding confidence with the putter. Idone emphasized that Southwind rewards aggressive iron play and believes Young’s ability to attack pins—evidenced by gaining eight strokes tee-to-green in his most recent start—sets him up to contend. With no short-game tax on the flat, newly resurfaced greens, Idone expects Young’s combination of distance and high-end proximity to translate to another spike performance worthy of an outright ticket.

Gannon urged players to keep jamming Cameron Young into DFS builds after Young’s outright win cashed for the show last week. Young, Ben Griffin, and Chris Gotterup are all "not fully priced yet," but Young offers the highest ceiling. Gannon expects ownership to stay reasonable and views Young’s current ball-striking surge as something to ride until the pricing catches up.

Dom Cintorino predicted that Cameron Young’s breakthrough victory will open the floodgates for a strong finish to the season. Young strung together a summer of elite ball-striking after showing nothing early in the year, culminating in a dominant wire-to-wire win where he gained strokes in every category. Cintorino noted Young had been piling up top-five finishes since his first season on Tour, so finally converting one should let him "relax" and play even freer golf. Given the upcoming FedEx Cup playoff venues—demanding ball-striking tests that reward length and high-end approach play—Dom believes Young’s confidence and proven talent make him a buy-low choice in outright and placement markets over the next few weeks.

Matt Gannon grabbed Cameron Young at 60-to-66-1 outright, arguing the number is far too long for a player whose underrated wedges are perfectly suited to Sedgefield’s 125-175-yard approach fest. Gannon reminded listeners that Young sat near the lead through 54 holes here last season before the Sunday blow-up, proving the course fit is real. While the public labels Young a driver first, proprietary proximity data shows he ranks top-15 on Tour from 100-150 yards this year, a stat Gannon believes will matter most on a 7,100-yard Donald Ross design. Add in flashes of form earlier in 2025 and the motivation to lock up FedEx Cup positioning, and Gannon sees Young as a live, high-ceiling outright and top-20 target.

Hochberg highlighted Cameron Young at $7,200 (+8000). After missing six cuts in his first 11 starts, Young has made eight straight with four top-25s, including T4 at the U.S. Open. He owns runner-up (2022) and T8 (2023) finishes in his first two Opens and was T31 last year. The improved consistency plus proven links success offers massive upside for a near-bottom-tier salary.

Eric Polzin advised staying away from Cameron Young in outright markets and limiting DFS exposure. Young has not qualified as a "good outright" in Polzin’s model for more than 18 months and still lacks a PGA Tour victory, signaling poor win equity. Polzin pointed to Young’s recent dip in ball-striking and middling bogey-avoidance metrics—key stats for Royal Portrush—as reasons the hype is misplaced. Although three consecutive long-shot winners on Tour show volatility, Polzin does not believe that randomness alone justifies betting Young at short odds.

Lyons highlighted Cameron Young as the first American he is willing to bet after Scottie Scheffler, grabbing 66-1 outright numbers still hanging in Europe. Young has finished runner-up and T-8 in two Open starts and has been inside the top-7 after seven of his 12 career Open rounds, proof he ‘just sees the shots links golf asks for.’ Lyons added that Young’s contending run at this year’s U.S. Open signals his iron play is peaking, and Portrush’s relatively generous fairways mitigate the driver volatility that normally scares bettors. With a high-ball flight that can still bore through wind and scramble-friendly touch that belies his bomber label, Lyons believes Young carries legitimate win equity at triple the odds of players with similar skill sets.

MacLean labeled Cameron Young the lone American he will back regardless of forecast, targeting a top-20 and sprinkling the 70-1 outright. Young has teed it up in three Open Championships and already owns two top-10 finishes plus a T31 last year, showing he can handle both benign and brutal links conditions. MacLean likes that Young consistently gains strokes off the tee, giving him scoring chances even when irons cool, and believes his comfort on firm, running turf sets him apart from other U.S. power players who struggle to flight the ball down. If the weather turns nasty, MacLean still trusts Young’s Open pedigree to cash placement tickets.

Smylie Kaufman backed Cameron Young for a bounce-back showing at Detroit Golf Club. Even after Young "laid an egg" on the weekend at the Travelers, Kaufman noted that Young’s track record in Detroit is excellent and the setup is tailor-made for bombers. Young averages north of 315 yards off the tee and ranks top-10 on Tour in strokes-gained off-the-tee, both key stats on a course where fairways are wide and greens are receptive. Kaufman expects putting inside 10 feet to separate the field; Young gained strokes on the greens in two of his last three starts, signaling his flat stick is trending. Pair that with a weaker-than-usual Rocket field and Kaufman believes Young has legitimate win equity, making him viable for outrights, top-5 bets, and as a high-ceiling anchor in DFS lineups.

Colt Knost pivoted off the trendy Luke Clanton play and wagered on Cameron Young to finish inside the top 20 at +140 on Fanatics Sportsbook. Knost said Young is 'starting to play better' and relayed that Trevor Immelman personally predicted Young would win this week—a call Knost trusts because Immelman's week-of reads are 'normally right.' Rather than chase the outright, Knost likes the top-20 market to capitalize on Young's improving form at the Detroit Golf Club birdie fest while limiting volatility.

Brady Kannon backed Cameron Young at 27-1 to win the 2025 Rocket Classic, arguing Detroit Golf Club is almost tailor-made for him. The Ross design rewards length with little rough penalty, and past champions such as Bryson DeChambeau and Tony Finau support the bomber narrative. Young ranks 5th in this field in Birdies or Better Gained over his last 24 rounds, has already finished 6th and runner-up in two prior Rocket Classic starts, and arrives in form after making every cut during a seven-week gauntlet that produced three top-10 finishes (Truist, RBC Canadian, U.S. Open). With a watered-down field and improved wedge play, Kannon said this is the ideal week for Young to shed his seven-time runner-up label and finally close the door on Sunday.

Gannon likes Cam Young despite a mediocre T-52 last week, arguing the finish stemmed from a handful of blow-up holes rather than poor form. Young owns a T-6 and T-2 in two Rocket starts and the course rewards his signature "send it off the tee, wedge it close" style. With back-to-back T-4s before last weekend and ample birdie chances in Detroit, Gannon is fine eating the expected ownership.

Eric Polzin warned viewers not to chase Cameron Young at his current outright number. Young grades just fifth in recent form, owns a sparkling course history (T-6 and solo 2nd at Detroit Golf Club) and even has local ties, but Polzin’s Nine-to-Five model did NOT award him any of the three profitable win tags this week (good, possible or long-shot). The model has produced 15 straight tournament winners who carried at least one tag, 11 of them with the elite "good outright" designation. Because Young sits outside that bucket and books are still hanging what Polzin called "trash" odds, he sees the bet as unnecessary risk and is fading him in outright markets unless you simply want to keep the social-media bit alive.

Rick Gehman backed Cam Young at $9K as his favorite upper-tier play. Young leaves a pair of positional layouts (Harbour Town and TPC River Highlands) and steps onto a power-friendly course where he can finally ‘cut it loose.’ Over his last seven starts he has gained strokes putting every week, including +3.5 at the Travelers. The driver is back to elite, and approach numbers have climbed since Augusta, producing T7 at Truist, and back-to-back T4s at the Canadian Open and U.S. Open. Gehman believes the combination of distance and recently improved flat stick puts Young on a short list to capture his first PGA Tour victory in Detroit and makes him a core DFS option.

Patrick Mcdonald refuses to back Cam Young this week, reminding listeners that Young broke his driver on Sunday here last year and still battles accuracy issues—he’s 120th on Tour in fairways hit. With Detroit’s rough thicker than usual and outright odds still hovering in the 25-1 range, Mcdonald calls the number ‘don’t bet it.’

Steve Bamford backed Cameron Young at 25/1, arguing the tournament sets up perfectly for his long-overdue first win. Young owns a stellar course résumé—2nd here in 2022 and 6th in 2024—with a 67.50 scoring average that ties for best among multi-year entrants. Recent results show the switch has flipped: 7th at the Truist Championship, 4th at the RBC Canadian Open and 4th at the U.S. Open in his last six starts, powered by a resurgent putter. Bamford highlighted Young’s top-8 ranks in historical SG Ball-Striking, Off-the-Tee, Around-the-Green and Tee-to-Green at Detroit plus a bomber profile that traditionally thrives on Ross’s soft, birdie-friendly par-72. With Morikawa and Cantlay out of form and Bradley on an emotional come-down, Bamford thinks the door is wide open for Young—now 17th in Ryder Cup points—to finally lift a trophy.
