Cameron Young shot a 5-under 67 and is two strokes off the first-round lead shared by Brooks Koepka, Viktor Hovland, and Jon Rahm.
Young birdied the first three holes at Augusta National on Thursday en route to a 5-under 67, two strokes off the first-round lead shared by Brooks Koepka, Viktor Hovland, and Jon Rahm.His “our” includes his newly hired caddie Paul Tesori, the former longtime caddie of Webb Simpson’s and a man who has worked more than 20 Masters.
“I think he brings a lot to the table,” Young said. “I think it’s helped me personally let go of the bad stuff that happens out here. He’s just so positive and energetic.” Young just finished second to Sam Burns in the SGC-Dell Match Play, giving him half a dozen runner-up finishes on tour since last year.“I was afraid to go hit the first tee shot last year,” Young said, “and this year it wasn’t at all the same. I’m just a lot more comfortable. Last year I didn’t understand how anybody made a birdie out here. This year I just got off to obviously a nice start and was really comfortable the whole day.
“You’re standing on the first tee at [your first] Masters, it’s a different kind of thing than any other tournament. But the more you can approach it like it’s not different, I think, is a good thing.”
