Cameron Young claimed victory at the 2026 Cadillac Championship, his third PGA Tour win and second of the season. Leading by six shots entering the final round at Trump National Doral, he called a penalty on himself on the second hole but held off Scottie Scheffler to win by six strokes. The day ended with a meeting with President Donald Trump.
Cameron Young entered the final round of the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral with a six-shot lead over the field. On the second hole, he inadvertently caused his ball to move while preparing his approach shot and called the penalty on himself, resulting in a one-stroke penalty. “It’s just one of those, your heart sinks when you see it move, but it moved and that’s part of what golf’s about,” Young said. He responded by making a 13-foot par putt, maintaining his lead at five shots after the penalty, according to Golf Channel commentary from analysts Smylie Kaufman and Curt Byrum, who praised his integrity under Rule 9.2b(2) of the Rules of Golf, which requires calling penalties when known or virtually certain the player caused the movement.
