Young gets to 13 under to take 5-stroke lead into the weekend at Doral
Young shot a 5-under 67 on Friday to get to 13 under and take a five-shot lead at the midway point.
DORAL, Fla. — Cameron Young finally made his first bogey of the week at the Cadillac Championship. It barely put a dent into his lead going into the weekend.
Young shot a 5-under 67 on Friday to get to 13 under and take a five-shot lead at the midway point of the $20 million signature event at Trump International Doral. Young’s lone blemish: a bogey at the par-4 14th, where his chip from an awkward sidehill lie didn’t reach the putting surface. Otherwise, he was flawless — just as he was Thursday when he had a bogey-free 64 to grab the lead.
He got the stroke he dropped at the 14th back two holes later, when he drove the green at the par-4 16th and coolly two-putted for his 14th birdie of the week. “There’s a lot of golf to be played on a difficult golf course,” Young said. “But so far, I’ve played well.
” Young played with Scottie Scheffler; the world’s No. 1 player had a bogey-free 67 but ended the day exactly where he started it — seven shots off the lead. Nick Taylor (70), Alex Smalley (71) and Jordan Spieth (71) were tied for second.
