Cameron Young runs away from the field at Doral, wins the Cadillac Championship by 6 shots

Nobody was catching Cameron Young this week in Miami.

Young, after building up a dominant lead over the first two days, rolled to a six-shot win to claim the Cadillac Championship. Young started the final round at Trump National Doral with a six-shot advantage and cruised to his 4-under 68 on the day.

The win marked just the third of Young’s career, but his second in the past three months. He went wire-to-wire at the event, which marked the Tour’s first stop back at Doral in a decade, without a single tie. It marked the second-largest win on Tour so far this season, trailing only Justin Rose’s win at Torrey Pines.

Young opened the week with a bogey-free 64 to take the lead from the jump. By Friday night, after he carded his first bogey of the weekend, Young had already built up a five-shot lead. His first 36 holes were nearly perfect.

From there, Young really just had to hang on. He got to 15-under on the week after a 2-under 70 on Saturday, and then briefly pushed his lead to seven on Sunday at the turn. While he made two quick bogeys on the back nine, Young offset them easily and rolled to the win without any issue.

He even drove the green at the tough par-4 16th, taking it straight over the water and past the several bunkers that sit in front of the putting surface, to set up a simple two-putt birdie. That set up his easy finish down the stretch.

But perhaps the best shot of the day came from top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, who somehow managed to take his completely plugged ball in the bunker at the 16th and set it up right next to the hole.

Is this any good?? 🤯

That was one of three straight birdies that Scheffler made late. He finished alone in second at 13-under, which marked his third straight start in which he’s finished in second. Ben Griffin fell back to third with a bogey at the last to close out his 68.

Young even called himself for a one-shot penalty on his front nine after his ball moved slightly forward in the fairway. Nobody noticed it happen on the second hole in the moment, but he immediately called it out. Officials then determined that his actions caused the ball to move, which led him to the one-shot penalty.

Remarkably, Young still made par.
