Using the sloping green from left to right, Young impressively shot the ball to the left and it rolled down perfectly onto the green to set up a close put to finish the hole.
The ball was only one awkward swerve away from going into the bunker, which would have ended in a double bogey or worse.

He sits nine shots behind leader Shane Lowry.
