It was resounding. It wasn\u2019t exactly flashy. But the result felt hardly in doubt as soon as Young broke free from the pack during Friday\u2019s second round at Trump National Doral.<\/p>\n Up by five shots at the halfway point and leading by six through 54 holes, Young cruised to a six-shot win for his second victory of the young season<\/a>. While his triumph at THE PLAYERS Championship was every bit of a nail-biter, this was more reminiscent of his maiden win last summer at the Wyndham Championship \u2013 when he also left the field in his wake over the weekend.<\/p>\n Young remains one of the best ball-strikers in the world, and this week\u2019s performance was up to his usual standard. The difference came on the greens, where he led the field in Strokes Gained: Putting, picking up more than seven shots on the field. It\u2019s a tantalizing combo, the kind that can vault Young into the stratosphere even against an elite field \u2013 and even on a layout as brawny as the 7,700-yard Blue Monster.<\/p>\n *:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-17ygvlf>img,.css-17ygvlf>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-17ygvlf::before{height:0px;content:””;display:block;padding-bottom:56.25%;}]]> Cameron Young hits tee shot to 12 feet, sets up birdie on No. 15 at Cadillac<\/p>\n \u201cFirst 27 holes I don\u2019t think he missed anything, really. It was nuts,\u201d said runner-up Scottie Scheffler<\/a>. \u201cGuy was just holing everything. When you\u2019re hitting really good shots and holing a lot of putts, that\u2019s a recipe to run away with a golf tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n The speed with which Young has ascended to the elite level of the sport is remarkable. Yes, he\u2019s been a mainstay on major leaderboards since 2022, but last summer he found himself outside the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking. He had to go to final qualifying just to earn a spot at the U.S. Open. The turnaround was sparked shortly thereafter: The Wyndham win changed the narrative, then a standout performance at the Ryder Cup soon followed. Now we\u2019re living in a world where the reaction to Young cruising past a field headlined by Scheffler, among others, amounts to a shrug and a knowing nod. He\u2019s just got that kind of performance in the arsenal.<\/p>\n Although he has doubled his TOUR win total already in 2026, it\u2019s hard to see him stopping here. Young is playing next week at Quail Hollow Club, with Aronimink and Shinnecock Hills both boasting difficult tests at upcoming majors \u2013 the kind that Young himself admits have him licking his chops.<\/p>\n Scheffler is still the world\u2019s best, and Rory McIlroy<\/a> delivered the year\u2019s most memorable performance. But the conversation about how they stack up against Young when he\u2019s firing on all cylinders is officially an interesting one.<\/p>\n It\u2019s figurative hardware in this instance \u2013 especially considering Scheffler has an actual gold medal \u2013 but there\u2019s been uncanny consistency in his recent results: second at the Masters, second at the RBC Heritage and second this week at Doral.<\/p>\n Not all runner-up results feel the same: His improbable rally at Augusta National fell just short, while he went toe-to-toe with Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a> at Harbour Town and got beaten in overtime. This time around, he was never more than a supporting actor in a play starring Young.<\/p>\n Scheffler came out of the gates with a dominant win at The American Express in January, but the rest of the West Coast Swing wasn\u2019t up to his lofty standards. Although the trophies haven\u2019t landed in his lap with the frequency of the last two years, there\u2019s no denying that his game is largely where he needs it to be heading into the heart of the season.<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler’s 159-yard approach sets up birdie on No. 17 at Cadillac<\/p>\n \u201cSome stuff I can clean up, but overall definitely some positives from the last few weeks,\u201d Scheffler said.<\/p>\n The key for Scheffler remains the opening stanza. While he leads in a myriad of scoring categories this season, he\u2019s a pedestrian 72nd in Round 1 scoring average. Slow starts plagued him on the West Coast, where he faced battles just to make the cut. This week\u2019s opening round, where Young beat him by seven shots, proved the difference.<\/p>\n The next time we see Scheffler in action, he\u2019ll be defending the Wanamaker Trophy at the PGA Championship. We\u2019ll likely know a lot about his chances for back-to-back titles after the opening round.<\/p>\n \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf7 Best player without a win on TOUR this year? Feels like a pretty clear answer in Si Woo Kim<\/a>, who finished T4 while playing alongside Young and Scheffler in the final group. That\u2019s now six top-10 finishes in 12 starts this season, including four top fives.\u26d4 Young\u2019s win came despite a penalty on the second hole in the final round, when he was deemed to have caused his ball to move in the fairway<\/a>. He still made par, hitting his approach to 14 feet and calmly rolling in the putt. Because of course he did.\ud83c\udfcc\ufe0f\u200d\u2642\ufe0f While he finally broke par with a final-round 68, it was a week to forget for Justin Rose<\/a> while debuting his new McLaren equipment<\/a>. The Englishman finished T65 out of 72 players on a course where he once won, so expect some adjustments heading into Quail Hollow and Aronimink as he dials in the new gear.\ud83d\ude2c It was all short game this week for Akshay Bhatia<\/a>. The Bay Hill champ was 71st out of 72 players in SG: Off-the-Tee this week, but saved his bacon around the greens (second in SG: Around-the-Green, sixth in SG: Putting). It added up to a T23 finish, but he\u2019ll need to rein in the ball-striking while returning home to North Carolina next week.\ud83e\udd1d Get ready for the “Battle of the Fitzpatricks.” After teaming with his brother Matt to win the Zurich Classic, Alex Fitzpatrick<\/a> finished T9 this week at Doral on his own ball \u2013 while leading the field in SG: Off-the-Tee! Now the brothers will both head to Quail Hollow, where they\u2019ll play against each other on TOUR for the first time since last year\u2019s Scottish Open.*:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-11jnzpa>img,.css-11jnzpa>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-11jnzpa::before{height:0px;content:””;display:block;padding-bottom:66.66666666666666%;}]]> May 2, 2026<\/p>\n![\"Cameron](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1777879330_98_image.jpg\")
