Brandel Chamblee has taken to social media to heap praise upon Cameron Young after a controversial incident early on in his final round at the Cadillac Championship.

Unsurprisingly, Young got across the line relatively comfortably on Sunday at Doral. The 28-year-old began the day with a six-shot lead. And none of the chasing pack could make enough of a charge to set up a tense finish.

There was still some drama on Young’s second hole of the day.

Young was just about to pull the trigger on his approach shot when he noticed his ball move ever so slightly.

He immediately called in an official. And while he believed that he did not cause the movement, he accepted the one-shot penalty that he subsequently received.

Remarkably, he still managed to make par on that hole.

It is always impressive whenever a player calls for a ruling that may lead to them receiving a penalty. It is hard to imagine that anyone would have noticed Young’s ball move had he not said anything.

Obviously, it was helpful to Young that he already boasted a commanding lead. Nevertheless, Brandel Chamblee insisted that The Players Championship winner deserves a lot of credit.

Chamblee went on to add: ‘.’
