Cameron Young finishes off wire-to-wire win at Cadillac Championship
DORAL, Fla. — The only person who gave Cameron Young any trouble on Sunday was, well, Cameron Young. He called a one-stroke penalty on himself while playing the par-4 second hole, after he caused his ball to move in the fairway.
And then he made par anyway. It was that sort of week: Young was unflappable and unbeatable. He went wire-to-wire alone on the lead at the Cadillac Championship, a final round of 4-under 68 getting him to 19 under for the week and six shots clear of world No.
1 Scottie Scheffler (68). “When the golf course is difficult, when the conditions are difficult, that tends to make it easier for me mentally,” Young said. With President Donald Trump in place to watch most of the round at Trump National Doral, Young picked up $3.
6 million for the second-biggest payday of his career. He made $4. 5 million earlier this year for winning The Players Championship.
Trump arrived with several members of his family — including granddaughter Kai Trump, who plans to play at the University of Miami when she enrolls later this year — shortly after noon and remained until the tournament was over. He stood for the ovation as Young walked up the 18th hole, as a number of fans in attendance were allowed to move into the fairway for a look at the final putts of the week. A bit more than an inch of rain fell on the course in the early morning hours Sunday, delaying a planned 7:30 a.
