Cameron Young at Doral and Nelly Korda in Mexico deliver dominant wins
DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Cameron Young called a one-shot penalty on himself for his ball slightly moving in the second fairway and he still made par. It was that kind of week for Young, who closed with a 4-under 68 for a six-shot victory over Scottie Scheffler in the Cadillac Championship.
Young became the first wire-to-wire winner at Doral since Andy Bean in 1977, opening with a 64 on the Blue Monster and never giving anyone much of a chance, including the world's No. 1 player. He finished at 19-under 269 with President Donald Trump, who owns Trump National Doral, watching and giving the rising American star a thumbs-up and later a handshake.
Young now has three wins since last August, including The Players Championship. Scheffler, who closed with a 68, was a runner-up for the third straight time dating to the Masters. Scheffler has earned $6.

LPGA Tour PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) — Nelly Korda delivered an early knockout punch Sunday and stretched her lead to seven shots before cruising to the finish line with a 3-under 69 and a four-shot victory in the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba. One week after Korda won her third career major with a five-shot win at The Chevron Championship, she was just as dominant at El Camaleon.
Korda went 60 consecutive holes without a bogey, a streak that ended when it no longer mattered on the 18th hole. She made a 20-foot bogey putt after losing her tee shot into tropical bushes. Korda became the first player since Annika Sorenstam in 2001 to start a season with six straight tournaments finishing no worse than runner-up.
