Earns another runner-up in Saudi Young finished two back of Abraham Ancer in solo second after a two-under 68 in the final round of the PIF Saudi International. Impact Much of the event really felt like a two-man duel between Young and Ancer. The 25-year-old American came into the final round just two back of the Mexican. Young began the final round with birdies on four of the first seven holes, but he ended up playing the next eight holes in four-over-par. Young was able to secure the solo second with birdies at 16 and 18, but it will be another frustrating near victory. Young now has nine top-three finishes in the last 16 months without a victory. He has the game to go on a Scottie Scheffler type run once he finally breaks through. What a better place to start than the WM Phoenix Open where Scheffler finally broke through to the winner's circle a year ago.
