‘Long time coming’: Why an All-ACC golfer’s breakthrough at Hackler was a surprise

Cameron Young has been named an All-Atlantic Coast Conference, All-East Region and ACC All-Academic Team member in each of the past two seasons.

His 70.11 scoring average last year as a junior was the third best in a single season in the storied history of the Wake Forest program.

But he hadn’t won a college event since capturing a pair of titles in the fall of his freshman year in 2015.

The senior from Scarborough, N.Y., relieved more than a couple years of frustration Tuesday at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club, shooting a 2-under-par 70 to capture the individual title in the General Hackler Championship by two strokes with a 12-under 204 total.
