Cameron Young calls tough penalty on himself, immediately gets rewarded by golf gods at Doral

As the PGA Tour calendar rapidly approaches another major, Scottie Scheffler continues to be the best player in the world due to his consistent ability to contend in nearly every tournament. Rory McIlroy is coming off his second consecutive win at The Masters, a remarkable achievement at one of the tour’s toughest golf courses. After a lengthy major championship drought, McIlroy finally got his career Grand Slam and seems set to be a threat in every big tournament moving forward. But the hottest golfer in the sport right now might be Cameron Young. Young’s run started at the Genesis Invitational, where he finished tied for seventh. Then at Bay Hill, one of the toughest courses on the calendar, he finished tied for third. He won the unofficial "5th major" at THE PLAYERS Championship a week later, before finishing tied for third at The Masters.TRUMP SAYS PGA-LIV 'MERGE' WOULD BE A 'GREAT THING' AS TALKS BETWEEN TOURS CONTINUEA few weeks later, at a signature event at the fearsome Trump National Doral "Blue Monster" course, Young on Sunday finished out a dominant six-shot win.

Nelly Korda crushes another LPGA field and wins by 4 shots in Mexico | AP News

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) — Nelly Korda delivered an early knockout punch Sunday and stretched her lead to as many as seven shots before cruising to the finish line with a 3-under 69 and a four-shot victory in the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba for her third win of the young season.One week after Korda crushed the field at The Chevron Championship for her third career major, she left everyone feeling hopeless at El Camaleon with precision that carried the No. 1 player in women’s golf to another dominant victory.Korda went 60 consecutive holes without a bogey, a streak that ended when it no longer mattered.She had a six-shot lead playing the 18th when she sent her drive to the right and deep into the tropical bushes, never finding the golf ball. She hit a provisional into a bunker, the next one into the gallery and finished by making a 20-foot putt for bogey, only her second of the tournament. Korda stretched out her arm and casually threw her right fist with whatever energy she had left.She finished at 17-under 271, four shots ahead Arpichaya Yubol of Thailand, who celebrated her 24th birthday with a 70 to finish alone

An adventurous start for Matt McCarty in the third round at Doral | AP News

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Matt McCarty made the start of his third round at the Cadillac Championship an adventurous one.He missed a 12-foot birdie putt and settled for a tap-in par on the par-5 8th hole Saturday — and that was the first par of his day at Trump National Doral, after an opening seven-hole stretch that featured an eagle, four birdies and two bogeys.He began the day with a 9-foot putt for eagle at the par-5 opening hole, and his wild beginning was underway. The rest of his opening seven holes:— No. 2, missed 15-foot par putt, bogey.— No. 3, made 3-foot birdie putt.— No. 4, missed 12-foot par putt, bogey.— No. 5, 86-yard chip stops 8 inches from hole, birdie.— No. 6, made 6-foot birdie putt.— No. 7, made 4-foot birdie putt.Going back to Friday, it was actually nine consecutive holes without a par for McCarty — who finished bogey-bogey in the second round. He wound up shooting a round of 3-under 69, with just six pars for the day. He was at 8 under for the week going into Sunday’s final round.“Kind of roller coaster early,” McCarty said. “I played really solid.” Even with all the everything-but-pars
