At the SJGT Cup, Cameron hit a hole in one on the 11th hole to highlight a match win with his partner, Tyler Watt of Huntsville.
Earlier this year, Cameron shot a 65 to win by 10 shots at the Southern States Notah Begay Sectional. On the SGJT tour this year, as of late October, he has a scoring average of 74, with two wins and a second place and fourth place finish. He is coached by Chip Thomas of Blackburn Golf Academy at Greystone Legacy.
