Cameron Young Secures Six‑Shot Victory at the 2025 Cadillac Championship
On Sunday, March 30 2025, Cameron Young captured his second PGA Tour win of the season at the Cadillac Championship held on the Blue Monster Course at Trump National Doral in Miami. Young posted a final‑round 4‑under‑par 68 to finish at 19‑under‑par 269, six strokes clear of the field.
Final‑round highlights
Young began the day with a six‑shot lead and extended it to seven after birdies on the third and fifth holes. His only blemish came on the 11th hole, where a bogey dropped his margin to five shots, but he never relinquished the lead thereafter.
During the second hole Young assessed a one‑stroke penalty on himself after noticing the ball move as he prepared his approach shot. Despite the penalty, he struck the ball onto the green and holed a par putt from 13½ feet, demonstrating composure under pressure.
