Q. How would you assess your round today?
CAMERON YOUNG: I think it was good scrambling. I putted really nicely. I didn't drive it like I did yesterday. I drove it beautifully yesterday and today I was all over the place. But I think from there I managed it pretty well. And putted really well.
Q. Do those kind of rounds kind of help you?
CAMERON YOUNG: For sure, there's plenty of times when the round I played today would be even and I would be barely around the cut line and today I pitched in twice in a row early, which was nice bonus, hit some horrible shots right there and walked away with two birdies on 3 and 4. Then from there it got a little better, but I mean I really just putted a lot of nice 5- to 15-footers and just kept myself in it with that.
Q. Is that maybe the difference between your game now versus maybe 18, 20 months ago?
CAMERON YOUNG: Yeah, it can be. I think typically I drive it a lot better than I have previously, so I have less of those days. But, yeah, I mean just constantly getting a little bit better and more comfortable playing some faster greens with trickier hole locations, have a better chance of turning some of those scratchy days into good rounds.
Q. Does it feel good to say you made your first PGA cut?
CAMERON YOUNG: It does. It does.
Q. You and Will were three years together at Wake Forest. What was your relationship -- he said you guys roomed together a lot, practiced together a lot, what was your relationship?
CAMERON YOUNG: Yeah, for sure. On trips at tournaments especially my first year we did room together a lot. I mean, yeah, the whole thing was around each other a lot, so we were all -- I mean I wanted to beat him as bad as anybody did because he was the best of all of us, especially his first year at college. And my first qualifier I think he beat me by 40. I don't think I'll forget that one, but hopefully I will. I kept it a little closer this time.
Q. Was it kind of motivating to see what he did last year --
CAMERON YOUNG: For sure.
Q. -- coming out with no status, did that motivate you to up your game to get out here too?
CAMERON YOUNG: For sure. In college obviously we were around each other a lot and I beat him plenty of times and he beat me plenty of times. So to see someone that I know of, played a lot with and I can see why he's good and why I can also do that I think is a huge confidence boost. To watch him finish second in the Masters and not to mention making a million cuts in a row and finishing top 20 whatever times in a row, it just makes it known that it's possible and that I can do it too.
Q. What's the last year been like for you?
CAMERON YOUNG: It's been a bit of a whirlwind. Probably a year and two months ago I had no status. I had Canada status but that whole tour got cancelled that year. So I had essentially no status I was playing Monday qualifiers and I mean a lot's changed. I haven't really done anything yet, I had a nice season on the Korn Ferry, but I have a lot of work left this week to make it meaningful. So I think it's certainly been a lot and a lot of changes, but it's been all good stuff and all going the right direction.
