Cameron Young just made it boring in Miami, a feat that’s not easy to do.

He went wire-to-wire, and nobody – not the Miami humidity, not even Scottie Scheffler – really made him sweat.

Young ultimately went on to win by six strokes, securing the third victory of his career.

More importantly, it was his second win in the last seven weeks, both coming at tough tracks. First, he won The Players at TPC Sawgrass. Now, he’s added the Cadillac Championship at the Blue Monster.

Add in his performance at The Masters, where he went toe-to-toe with Rory for the Green Jacket before his putter failed him, and you’d be forgiven for claiming that Cam Young plays his best golf on the hardest courses.

Because that’s exactly what he does.

In addition to his game, which he has shown the world plenty of over the last two months, Young also demonstrated what golf is really all about.

On the second hole, as he was taking his backswing, the golf ball moved forward almost imperceptibly.

Young immediately called in a rules official and explained that he wasn’t sure whether he had caused the ball to move. His club was moving backward while the ball rolled forward, but because he couldn’t be 100% certain that he hadn’t inadvertently caused it to move, he called a one-stroke penalty on himself.

When you hear people say that “golf is a gentleman’s game,” I believe Cam Young’s actions showed exactly what that means.

Another solid victory in what has turned into a breakout season for Cameron Young. He is the first player to win at TPC Sawgrass and Doral in the same season since some guy named Tiger Woods did it.

What about everybody else?

Scottie Scheffler birdied three of the last four holes en route to a solo second-place finish. That’s his third runner-up finish in his last three starts, for those keeping track at home.

Ben Griffin, who had a stellar season last year, finished in solo third place.

Si Woo Kim, Sepp Straka, and Adam Scott finished T4 at 11-under.

Cameron Young is breaking out, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.

Here are his finishes since The Genesis Invitational in February:

Genesis: T-7
API: T-3
Players: 1
Masters: T-3
RBC: T-25

Now, he leads by five strokes heading into the third round at The Blue Monster, a course known for being a brutal test of golf.

Despite the difficulty, Young played his first 31 holes without a bogey. Not even world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who was paired with him for the first 36 holes, could manage that.

For what it’s worth, Young beat Scottie head-to-head by seven strokes through two rounds.

Who’s Chasing?

 

  • Jordan Spieth, Nick Taylor, and Alex Smalley are tied for second at 8-under.

  • Gary Woodland is alone in fifth at 7-under, while a group of six players sit at 6-under, including Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim, and Alex Fitzpatrick.
