BIO
Cameron is a three time PGA Tour winner, achieving those three wins in less than 80 starts. Having turned pro in 2017, he also has one Korn Ferry Tour win to his name so he definitely knows how to win. Cameron is best known for his enormous hitting and with this in mind it's no surprise he looks to Dustin Johnson for inspiration as to how to refine his wedge game and become a better player.
Cameron's win at 2019 Safeway Open was inspired by his grandfather, Mack, who was in hospice care due to cancer.
Significant info
Cameron suffered from injuries and loss of form in the early to mid part of 2019, failing to record a single top-10 until his win in late September. He was quoted in September 2019 as saying he approached the end of the 2019 season with a "maturity factor" and this certainly brought a more consistent approach to Cameron's game.
Cameron lost his grandfather, Mack, in October 2019 which was a big loss to Cameron given "Mackie kind of holds the whole thing together."

Significant Quotes
Tour Championship, 2020
CAMERON CHAMP: Obviously I drive it very well. Me, it's just more consistently with the iron play, and about 160 yards in, so that's mainly where I have a lot of my iron shots. I've slowly started to see the improvements of those.
Again, short game and scrambling was what I really struggled with last year, and I've really improved in that area. Again, I think it's just all aspects of my game I've seen -- starting to see slow improvements, which is good.
Again, those are just the keys I'm going to be focusing on even the next year".
