Andy, Kevin, and Joseph then discuss the event's winner, Cameron Young, and project where his career could go from here following his biggest win to date. They also touch on Scottie Scheffler's continued struggles, Brian Rolapp's press conference, and much more from one of the busiest weeks on the professional golf calendar.
