Cameron Young calls tough penalty on himself, immediately gets rewarded by golf gods at Doral
Key Points:
- Cameron Young started the final round of the Cadillac Championship with a six-shot lead and faced a unique challenge when his golf ball moved slightly on the second hole under preferred lies conditions after heavy rain.
- A rules official ruled that Young caused the ball to move and assessed him a one-shot penalty, which Young accepted without protest, maintaining sportsmanship despite his comfortable lead.
- Following the penalty, Young hit a strong approach shot and made a par putt, then birdied the third hole to extend his lead back to six shots over World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
- Young has been dominant throughout the tournament at Trump Doral, posting rounds of 64, 67, and 70, and is aiming for his second PGA Tour win of the 2026 season after previously winning The Players Championship in March.
