Can anyone confirm this is a golden torch? If not, any ideas?

That cactus is so much lacking real sunshine that it doesn't make any associations with the suggested name. I also think it is some Echinopsis sp.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Agreed - grow it in better light for a while and ID should be possible.

It’s getting lots of sunshine now, I got it at a local garden center where it was grown indoors
