Cameron Young didn't just win the Cadillac Championship—he dominated it. Closing with a 4-under 68 on Sunday at Trump Doral National, the 28-year-old Wake Forest alum lapped the field by six shots, securing his second PGA Tour victory of the season and the third of his career. It was a performance that left fellow pros nodding in recognition of what they've long suspected: when Young is on, he's nearly unbeatable.

That sentiment was echoed by Sahith Theegala, who has seen Young's game up close. "He can curve it both ways, he can hit it far and all of a sudden he's one of the best putters in the game," Theegala told Golfweek. "I just stop and watch him hit balls because he's that good." Theegala made those comments shortly before Young's win at the Players Championship in March, predicting that once everything clicked, the rest of the Tour would be in serious trouble.

This season, that click has come from Young's iron play. Last year, he turned his putting from a weakness into a strength. Now, he's made a similar leap with his approach game. In 2025, Young ranked outside the Top 100 in strokes gained approach-the-green (129th), greens in regulation (159th), and proximity to the hole (T141). This season? He's inside the Top 20 in all three categories—18th in approach, T15 in GIR, and an astonishing 2nd in proximity. The turning point came at the Wyndham Championship in August, the week of his first career win, when he switched to a Titleist Pro V1x prototype (Double Dot). "It gave me better distance control with my irons and wedges," Young said. "I think it started then. That's been a big factor."

That newfound precision was on full display Thursday, when Young opened with a bogey-free 8-under 64. He holed nearly 100 feet of putts, made eight birdies, and was perfect in scrambling. "I feel like I made a billion feet of putts," he said, noting several long-range bombs from the fringe. "That works most places." For a player who has steadily built his game from the ground up—improving his putting, sharpening his irons, and trusting his process—the Cadillac Championship was the latest proof that when you have every shot in the bag, the results speak for themselves.
