New York's Cameron Young and New Jersey's Chris Gotterup team up for 2 US wins at Presidents Cup

Cameron Young and Chris Gotterup have similar backgrounds and playing styles. “I think both of us, when in doubt, tee it up, hit it hard, go find it,” Young said. Playing with different partners, Gotterup dropped his first match on Thursday and Young lost on each of the first two days.

Medinah, Illinois (AP) — Cameron Young and Chris Gotterup, both hailing from the Northeast and sharing a similar playing style, joined forces to secure two victories for the United States at the Presidents Cup on Saturday. Young, 29, from Scarborough, New York, and Gotterup, 27, from New Jersey, combined to notch a 2-1 win in fourballs and a 6-4 triumph in foursomes against the International team.

U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker praised their strong pairing, noting their ability to "vibe" together and have fun on the course. Young, ranked No. 3 in the world with two wins this year, and Gotterup, ranked No. 7 with three victories, had a fast start to their matches, leading by five holes after seven and then dominating Sungjae Im and Adam Scott in the shortest match of the week.
