Cameron Young made a statement this week at Trump National Doral, and by the time the final putt dropped, there was no doubt who the Cadillac Championship belonged to.
Building on a commanding lead that stretched from the opening round to the final hole, Young cruised to a six-shot victory, finishing at 4-under 68 on Sunday. It was a wire-to-wire performance with no ties—just pure, dominant golf.
The win is just the third of Young's career, but it's his second in the last three months, signaling a major shift in momentum. It's also the second-largest victory on Tour this season, trailing only Justin Rose's win at Torrey Pines.
Young set the tone early, firing a bogey-free 64 on Thursday to seize the lead. By Friday night—after carding his first bogey of the weekend—he had already built a five-shot cushion. His opening 36 holes were nearly flawless, and from there, it was all about holding steady.
He reached 15-under after a solid 2-under 70 on Saturday, then briefly stretched his lead to seven at the turn on Sunday. A couple of quick bogeys on the back nine barely slowed him down. Young answered with ease, rolling to victory without breaking a sweat.
One of the most memorable moments came at the tough par-4 16th, where Young drove the green, carrying his tee shot straight over the water and past a cluster of bunkers. A simple two-putt birdie set up a smooth finish down the stretch.
But the shot of the day might have belonged to world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. From a completely plugged lie in the bunker at the 16th, Scheffler somehow managed to place his ball right next to the hole—a masterclass in technique that left fans and analysts in awe.
Scheffler finished alone in second at 13-under, marking his third straight start with a runner-up finish. For Young, though, this week was all about seizing the spotlight—and he did just that in Miami.
