Cameron Young's Winning Bag: Inside the Cadillac Championship Setup
Overview
Cameron Young secured his second victory of the season at the Cadillac Championship, just weeks after his breakthrough win at the Players Championship. Remarkably, he made only a single equipment change between those two events.
The Key Addition: GTS3 7-Wood
Heading into the Masters at Augusta National, Young collaborated with Titleist's J.J. Van Wezenbeeck to introduce a prototype GTS3 7-wood (21°) in place of his GT1 hybrid. The goal was straightforward: more height into the greens. The new club shares a brightly colored face with his GTS 3Tour 3-wood prototype—a design choice believed to encourage better ball coverage at impact by creating a visual perception of added loft.
The Unchanged Core
Everything else remained locked in from his Players Championship setup: - Driver: Titleist GT3, 11.0°, Mitsubishi Diamana PD 60 TX - 3-Wood: Titleist GT1 3Tour, 14.5° - Irons: Titleist '23 T200 (4-iron), T100 (5-iron), 631.CY Prototype (6–9), Dynamic Gold X7 shafts - Wedges: Vokey SM11 (48, 52, 56, 60°) - Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom 9.5R Tour Prototype - Ball: 2025 Titleist Pro V1x Double Dot Prototype
Strokeslab Take
The discipline to change just one club while on a winning streak reflects a data-driven mindset. From an SG: Approach perspective, optimizing launch angle with the right fairway wood on approach-heavy courses is exactly the kind of marginal gain that separates elite from exceptional.
Young's single-club adjustment mid-winning-streak is a textbook example of evidence-based equipment decisions—prioritizing trajectory optimization for SG: Approach gains rather than overhauling a setup that's already working.
