2) Cameron Young
Having finished runner-up in five different tournaments this year, it wouldn't be surprising to see Cameron Young win his first PGA Tour trophy in 2023. The young star is playing his best golf and is waiting for the biggest win of his career.
He finished T3 in the PGA Championship and was the runner-up in the Open Championship.
The Wake Forest alum has won three professional tournaments, including two Korn Ferry and one other tour. He made the cut for the 2022 Masters and US Open in 2019,2021, and 2022.
