DORAL, Fla. — The only person who gave Cameron Young any trouble Sunday was 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 weekend for Young, who proved to be unflappable, untouchable and — in the end — unbeatable in the PGA Tour’s return to Doral and the Blue Monster Course.
Alone atop the leaderboard after each round of the Cadillac Championship — by one shot after the first, five after the second and six after the third — a closing 4-under-par 68 got Young to 19-under 269 for the 72-hole tournament and six shots clear of a formidable name in the runner-up spot: fellow American star Scottie Scheffler (68), who has been No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking for almost three full years running.
“When the golf course is difficult, when the conditions are difficult, that tends to make it easier for me mentally,” said the 28-year-old Young, whose three career wins on the PGA Tour have come in the past 10 months — a stretch that also included him making his Ryder Cup debut in his native New York.
