Young was featured on the latest episode of Dan on Golf with Dan Rapaport. During the discussion, he opened up about wanting to play for team US in this year’s Ryder Cup.

When Rapaport asked the one-time PGA Tour winner to share why he thinks he should be on the team, he said,

"I think that this week proves what I'm capable of. I think that I've played a lot of really good golf over the course of the last bunch of years in big spots, in majors. I know I've got, you know, just about the most top 10s. I think maybe the fourth or fifth most top 10s in majors since I started playing on the PGA Tour.”
