Cameron Young leads Cadillac Championship, but weather looms
Cameron Young leads the Cadillac Championship by six strokes, but a past Masters collapse and bad weather loom for the final round.
DORAL — All Cameron Young has to do is go back three weeks to see what it means to lead a PGA Tour event by six strokes. Rory McIlroy entered the weekend leading the Masters by half a dozen shots. At the end of the third round he was tied with Young atop the leaderboard.
McIlroy recovered and won his second Green Jacket. Young, the Palm Beach Gardens resident, has led the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral after each of the first three rounds, with that spread growing each day. Young's 70 in the third round puts him at 15-under, and six shots in front of Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim and Palm Beach Gardens' Kristoffer Reitan, each carding a 69 in the third round.
The largest blown lead during the final round of a PGA Tour event is six shots, shared by nine golfers. "It won't change really how I play," Young said. "Especially the front nine.
I may be a hair more conservative in a place or two, but with the weather looking the way it does, that would be how I would be playing anyway. " The forecast for the final round is ugly with rain and thunderstorms expected. Tee times have been moved up to 7:30 a.
