PGA Tour star Cameron Young started his fourth and final round at the Open Championship seven shots off the lead of Sam Burns.
Sitting at three-under, Young started his round as hot as possible, carding a birdie each of the first three holes before adding a fourth birdie on No. 5 to move to seven-under early in his final round. After adding a fifth birdie at No. 9 to round out a 29 on the front nine, it looked like Young was poised to make a run at his first major title.
Following a seventh birdie on No. 17, Young had a share of the lead, but gave a stroke back with a bogey on No. 18.

After Ryan Fox closed with a birdie on No. 18 to get to 10-under, Young's costly bogey on the final hole cost him a chance at the title.
"I thought 10 [under] had a decent chance," Young said. "I've played around the lead in majors enough to know that scraping out even par on a Sunday in a major championship can be really difficult. So you figure those guys at the top, somebody's probably going to make a run, but I was just close enough where I felt like maybe the lead could stay the same."
It's the second time in Young's career that he's finished as the runner-up at the Open Championship.
