Cam Young compared with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy after ‘scary’ third round at the Cadillac Championship

Young took charge of the tournament with a 64 in the opening round on the Blue Monster. And he has not looked back, with the 28-year-old five shots clear at the halfway mark.
The Players Championship winner will be wary of getting carried away. However, it is extremely difficult to see anyone else coming through and winning the latest signature event on the PGA Tour. Cameron Young’s performance at Cadillac Championship has been compared to Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy The biggest 54-hole lead that has been thrown away so far this year is three shots.
On that occasion, Ludvig Aberg opened the door for Young to go on and win at TPC Sawgrass. The worry for the chasing pack is that Young’s performance during Saturday’s third round has been compared with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy . He bounced back from a bogey on the opening hole to post a 70 and extend his advantage.

And for some reason, Cam is doing this without playing the par fives well.
So that means really his iron play is superb,” he said. “The par fours here are difficult. So Cam Young really has owned this golf course, and even though he’s spluttered a bit – remember he made a six on the opening hole, the par five, he hit his second shot into the water – it didn’t bother him.
