From beard to clean shave: The surprising change behind Cameron Young’s look

Posted by on

Beard

Cameron Young is a golfer who has been making headlines in recent days, after an impressive performance and his first PGA Tour victory (Wyndham Championship). 

Many are now analyzing not only his performance, but also his appearance.

It is known that the 28-year-old golfer has always worn a full beard, but two years ago, many were surprised to see Young shaved. 

Although many wondered what was the reason for his bizarre decision, the famous golfer revealed that it was his wife, Kelsey Dalition. 

Young made everyone laugh, saying that he probably hasn't shaved since their first son was born.

“Honestly, my wife just kind of said, ‘Why don’t you shave?’ It wasn’t like … I don’t think I looked terrible. I don’t know,” Young said, as quoted by the Athlon Sports.

“Yeah, I haven’t been clean-shaven probably since our first son was born.”

Family

The famous golfer had his first child three years ago and has often emphasized the important role his family plays in his life; especially his wife and son. Young spends most of his time with them and admits that he really enjoys family trips. 

Those moments “recharge his batteries” and give him extra motivation before important tournaments.

“I have spent a lot of time with my family, my wife. We have a little baby, so spent a lot of family time, which has been great. Honestly, they’ve been out with me the last couple weeks and it’s been such a nice change of pace to be with them on the road.

I think it just keeps you a little fresher. You get off the course and you can kind of forget about golf a little bit, which is really nice,” he concluded.

With the latest victory, the 28-year-old opened many doors and paths for himself, and it seems that after his first PGA Tour title, Young could lift many more trophies in the years ahead.

Cameron Young is a golfer who has often been criticized by fans for not winning a PGA Tour title. The American golfer won his first PGA Tour title with a great performance at the Wyndham Championship. Although he has been close to lifting the trophy for years, the 28-year-old has often encountered obstacles, finishing second in important tournaments. 

In an interview with the media, Young admitted that he felt a huge dose of nervousness the morning before the tournament began. 

However, the famous golfer knew that after a few holes he would 'break' his nervousness. 

Cameron reveals that when it came to the last holes, he did not feel nervous; in fact, he was confident that he could make a big score. 

Having self-confidence is key for every golfer, including Young, who knew how to use momentum.

“Yeah, honestly, last night was no problem. Like we were out here early, we had to play three holes and then come back and play a whole round of golf. By the time I got home it was dinner, bed, so I really had no issue. This morning I was a little bit more nervous than I expected, but kind of just did my usual stuff. I was a little bit nervous starting out and then by the time I made the second or third birdie, I was just ready to get it done,” he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.

“Yeah, I wasn’t nervous at all those last bunch, I just kind of at that point had my foot off the gas and frankly I knew that I could make a couple bogeys and it was just a matter of not hitting it anywhere that I could possibly make a double, which I didn’t want to play that way but at some point, you know, I wanted to win by 12 and at some point there’s something more important than that probably with four holes to go and an eight-shot lead or whatever it was at the time, I was just trying to get it done. Even though I had a couple putts for par, it was like the least stressful few holes probably of my career.”

Cameron Young talks about the pressure

The American golfer surprised many by revealing that he did not feel the pressure because he had not won trophies until now. Young is a person who accepted any scenario, aware that victories would eventually come in the future. 

While some expected that the 28-year-old was under enormous pressure, Young was focused on going out on the course and showing his best, not worrying too much about the result. 

Cameron felt that he was close to victory for a long time, and the last tournament certainly took the stone off this golfer's back.
