Cameron Young called a one-shot penalty on himself for his ball slightly moving in the second fairway and he still made par. It was that kind of week for Young, who closed with a 4-under 68 for a six-shot victory over Scottie Scheffler in the Cadillac Championship. Young became the first wire-to-wire winner at Doral since Andy Bean in 1977, opening with a 64 on the Blue Monster and never giving anyone much of a chance, including the world's No. 1 player.

Cameron Young just delivered a masterclass in composure and class at the Cadillac Championship. Even when his ball moved slightly in the second fairway—a one-shot penalty he called on himself—he still made par. That tells you everything about the week he had at Doral's iconic Blue Monster.

Closing with a 4-under 68, Young cruised to a six-shot victory over world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. It was a wire-to-wire win, the first at Doral since Andy Bean did it in 1977. Young opened with a blistering 64 and never looked back, leaving the field—including the top-ranked player—with little hope of catching him.

Finishing at 19-under 269, Young had a notable spectator in President Donald Trump, who owns Trump National Doral. The president offered a thumbs-up and a handshake to the rising American star. This marks Young's third win since last August, including The Players Championship, cementing his status as one of the hottest players on tour.

Scheffler, meanwhile, closed with a 68 but settled for second place for the third straight time dating back to the Masters. For his efforts, the world No. 1 has earned a staggering $6.75 million across those three events—a testament to his consistency, even in defeat.

Down in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Nelly Korda also made headlines with a dominant performance of her own, proving that the week belonged to golfers who know how to close the deal.
