Cameron Young laps the field at Cadillac Championship for third PGA Tour win

PGA Tour pro Sahith Theegala has played with his share of talented golfers but he counts Cameron Young as one of the few who has every shot in the bag. “He can curve it both ways, he can hit it far and all of a sudden he’s one of the best putters in the game,” Theegala tells Golfweek . “He practices at Panther National (in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

,) and when I see him there, sometimes I just stop and watch him hit balls because he’s that good. ” Theegala made those comments shortly before Young won the Players Championship in March, and predicted that when things clicked for Young, he and his fellow pros would be in a world of trouble. That came to fruition at Trump Doral National, where Young closed in 4-under 68 on Sunday to blitz the field by six shots at the Cadillac Championship in Doral, Fla.

, a suburb of Miami, and win for the second time on the PGA Tour this season. Last season, as Theegala mentioned, Young turned his putting from a weakness into a strength. This season, the 28-year-old Wake Forest University alum’s improved iron play has keyed his latest leap forward.

Young is the only player on the Tour to rank outside the Top 100 in SG: Approach-the-Green (129th), greens in regulation (159th), and proximity to hole (T141) in 2025 and inside the top 20 this season in all three categories (2026: SG: Approach-the-Green (18th), GIR (T15), and proximity to hole (2nd). At the Wyndham Championship in August, which happened to be the week of his maiden win, Young switched to a Titleist Pro V1x prototype (Double Dot), which gave him better distance control with his irons and wedges. “I think it started then probably,” he said.
