He gave some insight onto why that is after the biggest win of his career.

“I think if you ask my wife [Kelsey] she’d say ‘he’s a very very happy person,’” Young said. “And I am. I mean I love my life, I love my family, I love my job. I couldn’t ask for much more. I’m healthy, I have healthy little children.

“I just think it’s more for me about — I think that’s the best way for me to play the best. Now, why am I not happy? I am. I don’t know. I’m thinking to answer questions and my brain is very tired after playing that golf course for four days. It takes a lot for me to come up with a reasonable answer. But yeah, I don’t know. Generally you’re not going to get a ton out of me, but it doesn’t mean that I’m not very, very happy to be sitting here with this.”
