Cameron Young Shines at Cadillac Championship
Cameron Young’s recent performance has truly been a spectacle in the golf world. At just 28 years old, his achievements have caught the eye of many. He tied for 7th at the Genesis Invitational and followed that by placing T-3 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The excitement didn’t stop there; he clinched victory at THE PLAYERS Championship and then secured third place at the Masters.
This past weekend, Young’s success reached a new high at Trump National Doral in Miami. He showcased remarkable skill on the Blue Monster, earning a impressive 6-stroke win at the Cadillac Championship. Along with this victory, he also took home a generous purse of $3.6 million. His score of -13 put him ahead of competitors like Scotty Scheffler, while President Donald Trump watched the events unfold.
Following the win, Young had a brief encounter with the president. Reflecting on the meeting, he expressed his appreciation for playing in such an esteemed location. “It’s quite unique,” he commented during the post-tournament press conference. “He’s a fascinating individual—definitely powerful—and being able to play in front of him is an honor. I’m very grateful to him and his family for allowing us to host this event at such a beautiful venue. This place is special, and the golf course is top-notch.”
In a separate moment captured after his victory, Young shared what it felt like to receive praise from President Trump: “Very unique. He’s an intriguing person—quite powerful, too, and it’s an honor to play in front of him.”
Throughout the tournament, Young demonstrated skillful play that captivated spectators. The Cadillac Championship proved to be a challenging event, especially since the Blue Monster hadn’t been on the PGA Tour schedule for some time, resulting in little historical context to draw from. The analytics suggested a tougher outcome, which was frustrating for some, especially considering Young’s consistent winning streak. However, witnessing his performance was a reminder not to dwell on disappointment.
