In their self-described ‘rape-whistle parking garage’ segment, Barnett and Pat Perry agreed Cameron Young is finally priced correctly at 250-1 outright and +500 for a Top-20. Barnett admitted he has faded Young all year but cannot ignore a number this long for a player who hits 186 mph ball speed and owns legitimate major results: T-3 at the 2022 PGA, runner-up and T-8 at past Opens, plus two top-10s at Augusta—another high-ceiling, long-iron test. Young just posted his best approach week in 11 months, gaining 2.5 strokes at the Philly Cricket Cup (T-7) after switching back to a familiar iron setup. Perry added that Quail’s soft fairways and penal rough amplify Young’s driver advantage while minimizing his sporadic wedge play. With length, prior Quail reps, and a glimmer of iron life showing, the duo are holding noses and taking the upside on both the outright ticket and Top-20 market.

Michael Harrison suggested taking a stab on Cameron Young at a massive +25000 outright and in top-5/10/20 markets. Young, still winless on tour despite seven career runner-ups, just found form again with a T-7 at the Truist Championship. He owns a T-3 at the 2022 PGA and was runner-up at that year’s Open Championship, proving he can hang on major leaderboards. Harrison believes the number is too big for a player whose ceiling is clearly victory if the putter heats up.

Pat Mayo advised taking Cameron Young off betting cards and DFS cores. Young ranks among the biggest year-over-year decliners in 200-plus-yard proximity—an alarming trend when Quail Hollow forces that shot more than half the time. Mayo grouped Young with other strugglers like Keegan Bradley and Sam Burns, stressing that sustained long-iron slippage combined with Young’s streaky putter makes the 28-1 outright price and $9.2K DFS salary unjustifiable. He suggested reallocating exposure to bombers in better form—Ludvig Aberg was his preferred pivot.

Matt Wiley recommended Cameron Young based on insider knowledge emphasizing Young’s exceptional spin control ability. Augusta National demands precise spin management off the tee and into greens, especially under windy and firm conditions. Drawing from sources close to Young, Wiley described Young's unique spin control with his driver and iron play, explaining these rare skills give Young a significant edge in controlling trajectory and placement on Augusta’s notoriously firm and undulating greens. Wiley confidently suggested Young as an appealing DFS pivot due to this essential Augusta compatibility.

Derek Farnsworth picked Cameron Young as his bold, contrarian DFS play for the Masters. Farnsworth acknowledged that Young has historically been frustrating to roster, calling him someone he never gets right, but pointed to favorable signals heading into Augusta. Young's significant distance off the tee is ideal for Augusta's long layout, and he finally showed improved form with an encouraging T-18 finish at the Valero Texas Open. Most compelling, Farnsworth noted Young has recorded back-to-back top-10 finishes at the Masters previously, which underscores his comfort and proven upside at Augusta. With projected ownership under 5%, Young represents a high-risk, high-reward option perfect for large-field tournaments like the Millionaire Maker.

Jordan Kaye identified Cameron Young as a compelling long-shot bet at 200-1 odds for the 2025 Masters. Despite still seeking his first PGA Tour victory, Young’s record at Augusta over the past two years—finishing T-7 in 2023 and T-9 last year—demonstrates his ability to sustain contention deep into the tournament. Given Young's repeatedly strong performances at this particular venue, Kaye suggested these hefty odds represent considerable value for bettors seeking a big payoff from an experienced Augusta competitor.

Adam Burke identified Cameron Young as a valuable pick for the First-Round Leader at the Masters Tournament 2025 due to his remarkable consistency in the opening round. Young finished within the top 10 in strokes gained total in the first round in both 2023 and 2024 Masters, placing T-6th and T-4th respectively after day one. Currently priced at 70/1 at DraftKings for first-round leader odds and 200/1 to win the entire tournament, Young presents a profitable opportunity grounded in demonstrated recent Masters performance.

Pat Mayo pointed to Cameron Young as an elite DFS option for the 2025 Masters, underscoring his exceptional driving statistics at Augusta National over the past three years. Young ranked top three in strokes gained off-the-tee, outperforming even Scheffler and many other elite golfers. Given the historical success Augusta heavily rewards to elite drivers, Mayo strongly believes Cameron Young's excellent recent off-the-tee form projects him as highly dependable for DFS lineups, even if outright betting might be riskier.

Pat Mayo identified Cameron Young as appealing for an outright 2025 Masters bet. Highlighting Young's elite driving, Mayo mentioned Young meets critical statistical thresholds historically predictive of Masters success, notably consistently excelling off the tee at Augusta. Mayo also emphasized that Augusta is the only major tournament Young qualified for this year, providing additional motivational upside. Given Young's proven ability to thrive at Augusta historically with his off-the-tee game, Mayo sees him as an intriguing long-shot betting option whose statistical strengths align strongly with Augusta National.

Byron Lindeque expressed concern about Cameron Young as a DFS selection due to his notable struggles on par five scoring. During a critical TGL moment, Lindeque noted Young's frequent mismanagement of par fives, stating Young "just absolutely butchers par fives half the time." Considering Memorial Park's layout typically rewards strong par-five play, this tendency significantly diminishes Young's DFS appeal despite his impressive driving stats and general upside. Byron cautioned against heavy DFS exposure to Young, underscoring this specific weakness as a critical factor in performance analysis.

David Barnett strongly criticized Cameron Young from a betting perspective, indicating he's been significantly overhyped due to past major finishes a couple of years ago. Barnett pointed out Young's consistent poor performance since then, stating he hopes Young loses his PGA Tour card and has to recalibrate his game on the Korn Ferry Tour. Despite acknowledging Young might be a nice person, Barnett emphasized that, from a betting standpoint, he's been a costly and disappointing player and strongly suggested fading Young going forward.

Derek Farnsworth advised completely avoiding Cameron Young for DFS contests for the foreseeable future, citing his continued struggle with form. Farnsworth noted his DFS day ended quickly last week when Young shot an abysmal 82 in the first round. Despite a better second-round 71, Young missed the cut. Farnsworth emphasized they have repeatedly tried rostering Young and it has consistently failed. Given these struggles and Young’s clear slump, Farnsworth recommended staying away until there's substantial evidence of a turnaround in form.

Tyler Tamboline emphasized fading Cameron Young, noting a steep and concerning decline in his recent form compared to last year. Tamboline pointed out that the betting odds now actually show Carson Young ahead of Cameron Young, suggesting the market perception has shifted dramatically. He recalled how last year at this event, Cam Young would have been priced significantly higher—around 9,500 or 9,600—in DraftKings contests, but is now viewed as a much riskier option due to poor recent performances.
