No.4 Young Cruises to PGA Title at Doral

Young finished 19 under and won by six shots after a self-imposed penalty, earning $3.6 million in the Cadillac Championship.

  • On Sunday, Cameron Young won at Trump National Doral, securing $3.6 million for the second-biggest payday of his career, while President Donald Trump watched from the gallery as Young walked up the 18th hole.
  • Early morning rain delayed Sunday's final round by two hours, softening the Blue Monster course and dramatically lowering scoring conditions. Average scores dropped to 69 with preferred lies as players made 12 birdies at the finishing hole.
  • Young called a one-stroke penalty on himself on the second hole after his ball moved at address. "Your heart sinks when you see it move," Young said, noting there was no hesitation in doing the right thing.
  • Scheffler finished second, while Ben Griffin placed third at 12 under; Si Woo Kim, Sepp Straka, and Adam Scott tied for fourth at 11 under, trailing Young's dominant performance.
  • Adam Scott likely clinched a spot in the U.S. Open, which would mark his 100th consecutive major start, and the veteran plans to play in the PGA Championship later this month while maintaining his top 60 world ranking.
