Michael Kim has revealed what the players thought about the Blue Monster course at Doral in light of some fans complaining about how exciting the Cadillac Championship was.
Doral made a long-awaited return to the PGA Tour schedule this year after a decade away. It had previously hosted the Doral Open, as well as the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
The Blue Monster often attracted an incredibly strong field, with the event widely seen as the unofficial start of the season.
It seems that the nostalgia was not strong enough to win everyone over at the latest signature event on the PGA Tour. It was notable that there were some underwhelming crowds on Sunday as Cameron Young secured his second victory of the season.
There are plenty of reasons for that. Young’s performance removed almost all of the drama, with the 28-year-old winning by six shots.

Someone who would agree with Kim’s assessment is Young himself.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that he is a fan of the golf course having opened up a commanding lead in the early stages and not looking back.
But after his win, he suggested that he really enjoyed tackling the Blue Monster.
“It’s just undeniably a big, difficult championship golf course. That’s I think what a lot of us like out here on tour. For me personally I prefer a difficult golf course to an easier one, I think. Just that’s the kind of golf I like,” he said.
“To have another place like that on the schedule, we got a pretty easy day here today, but if you get a few days out here where it blows all day as opposed to just in the afternoon, the scoring could be radically different. I just, I like having one more place on the schedule that’s more that style of golf.”
It is a shame that Doral made a largely underwhelming return to the PGA Tour schedule this year. However, the players are clearly optimistic that it will prove to be a welcome addition in time.
