“The more I put myself there, I think I said at the PGA 'one of these times I'll shoot 5 under on the back and that will be enough,'” Young said. And it wasn't. So, I guess one of these times I'll shoot 6 on the back on Sunday and that will be enough.” “But just based on how he was playing and kind of how that hole sets up, I think there's a very, very good chance that 2 wasn't going to be enough.” And unlike Southern Hills, where Young may question his play down the stretch, on Sunday he had nothing to question. “Watching him make a million birdies in a row is in one sense good because it pushes you, and in another sense it's hard to watch because you see him making putts, knowing that he's kind of beating you,” Young said of Smith's eight-birdie round. “It probably hurts a little worse to come up one shot short,” Young said in a runner-up press conference at the same time Smith was being awarded the claret jug on the 18th green.

Cameron Young: Being British Open runner-up hurts 'worse' than ... (New York Post)

Young, a PGA Tour rookie who's still seeking his first career victory, recorded his fourth runner-up finish this season when he came up one shot short of Open ...

“Probably not the best decision I made, not the best shot I hit today. [It’s] not necessarily that I didn’t [do that] at the PGA Championship, but I don’t know if I let it come to me as much as I did today. “On 1, the second putt just kind of didn’t do what I thought,’’ Young said. “I’ve at least been around the lead a lot this year — on the PGA Tour, in a major, so it’s not the first time I’ve been in that situation,’’ he said. “Frustrating to come up short, but overall, I think I had a really good week. “I gave myself a really nice chance,’’ Young said.

Young knew he needed an eagle on the final hole to pressure Smith so he teed it up and went all out. “In the PGA Championship in a major, so it’s not the first time I’ve been in that situation. The eagle moved Young one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who missed a birdie putt on the 18th a few minutes later. Young finished in second place on the Old Course in the 150th British Open after driving the green and sinking a 17-foot eagle putt on the par-four 18th. And not the best shot I hit today. Cameron Smith won the British Open for his first major title.

“And the more I put myself there,” he continued, “I think I said at the PGA (Championship), one of these times I'll shoot 5 under on the back and that will be enough. And it wasn't. So I guess one of these times I'll shoot 6 (under) on the back on Sunday and that will be enough.” Not as much as some of those other guys, but I've at least been around the lead a lot this year. He was vying to become the 11th player, and second straight after Collin Morikawa last year, to win in his Open debut. “I think I gave myself a really nice chance (to win),” said Young, 25, who three-putted the first hole for bogey but mostly dazzled with seven birdies and an eagle. Other than his rough start, his only other misstep was a drive into an unplayable lie at the ninth, leading to another bogey.

Young knew he needed an eagle on the final hole to pressure Smith so he teed it up and went all out. “And the more I put myself there, I think I said at the PGA one of these times I’ll shoot 5 under on the back (nine) and that will be enough. And it wasn’t. So I guess one of these times I’ll shoot 6 on the back on Sunday and that will be enough.” “At this point — not as much as some of those other guys — but I’ve at least been around the lead a lot this year,” Young said. The eagle moved Young one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who missed a birdie putt on the 18th a few minutes later. Young finished in second place on the Old Course in the 150th British Open after driving the green and sinking a 17-foot eagle putt on the par-4 18th.

“The more I put myself there, I think I said at the PGA one of these times I’ll shoot 5-under on the back and that will be enough. “So I guess one of these times I’ll shoot 6 on the back on Sunday and that will be enough.” Young made bogey at the first and ninth holes on Sunday, but sandwiched four birdies in between to turn in 34.

Cameron Young was very briefly tied for lead on the 18th hole on the final day of the British Open with only three other golfers still out on the course.

Young knew he needed an eagle on the final hole to pressure Smith so he teed it up and went all out. “And the more I put myself there, I think I said at the PGA one of these times I’ll shoot 5 under on the back (nine) and that will be enough. And it wasn’t. So I guess one of these times I’ll shoot 6 on the back on Sunday and that will be enough.” “At this point — not as much as some of those other guys — but I’ve at least been around the lead a lot this year,” Young said. And not the best shot I hit today. The eagle moved Young one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who missed a birdie putt on the 18th a few minutes later.
