Young Extends Lead at Cadillac Championship as Scheffler Chases

Sky Sports Champions League •

Cameron Young kept the Cadillac Championship lead, posting a two‑under 70 to sit at 15‑under, six strokes clear of the nearest pack. Scottie Scheffler, who carded a three‑under 69, moved into a group tied at nine‑under, while Si Woo Kim and Kristoffer Reitan also sit at that mark. Rain is forecast for Sunday, prompting the tournament to start the final round earlier.

Scheffler, the world No. 1, acknowledged Young’s advantage, saying he must deliver a “great round” to stay in contention. The American’s 69 included a precise 172‑yard approach that left him four feet from the pin, resulting in a birdie on the demanding 18th at Doral. Young’s own 165‑yard shot landed 60 feet short, but a saved par preserved his six‑shot cushion.

Other contenders include Ben Griffin and Matt McCarty at eight‑under, and Canada’s Nick Taylor trailing by two. With the course owner, President Donald Trump, expected but schedule changes uncertain, the final round will test players’ ability to navigate both the weather and Doral’s split‑fairway 18th. Young’s consistent play positions him strongly for the title.
