Cameron Young Goes Wire-to-Wire at Cadillac Championship as Scheffler's Runner-Up Streak Hits Three
Cameron Young proved he is the real deal this weekend, going wire-to-wire to win the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral. While Scottie Scheffler continues to dominate the headlines, Young showed that he has the mental toughness to close out tournaments against the best in the world. Here is a recap of Young's impressive victory and what it means for golf bettors. A Flawless Wire-to-Wire Victory Young was unflappable all week on the Blue Monster. He finished with a final round of 4-under 68, bringing his tournament total to 19-under par. He won by a comfortable six-shot margin, taking home the $3.6 million first-place prize—his second-biggest payday after winning THE PLAYERS Championship earlier this year. The most telling moment of the tournament came on the second hole of the final round. Young's ball moved at address in the fairway, and without hesitation, he called a one-stroke penalty on himself. Despite the setback, he still managed to save par and cruise to victory. "When the golf course is difficult, when the conditions are difficult, that tends to make it easier for me mentally," Young said after the round. Scheffler's Runner-Up Streak Continues Scottie Scheffler finished in second place at 13-under par, marking his third consecutive runner-up finish following close calls at the Masters and Hilton Head. While Scheffler remains the clear No. 1 player in the world, his inability to close out tournaments recently is something bettors need to monitor. Ben Griffin finished third at 12-under, while Adam Scott shot a final-round 64 to vault into a tie for fourth at 11-under. Scott's strong finish likely secured his spot in the upcoming U.S. Open, which would be his 100th consecutive major start. Betting Takeaways Cameron Young has now doubled his PGA TOUR win total in 2026, and his confidence is at an all-time high. With the PGA Championship looming later this month, Young's odds to win a major will likely shorten. If you can still find value on him, grab it before the books adjust. As for Scheffler, his consistency makes him a lock for top-5 and top-10 finishes, but betting him outright to win at short odds might not be the smartest play until he breaks this runner-up streak. --- Related reading: - Weekend Sports Roundup: Walk-Off Debuts, NFL Draft Surprises, and a Record-Breaking Zurich Classic - Weekly Recap: AI Picks Went 19-10 (66% Win Rate) — Apr 20 – Apr 26, 2026
