Cameron Young continues to dominate the Cadillac Championship, widening his advantage to six strokes after posting a disciplined two‑under‑par 70 that lifted him to 15 under for the tournament. His commanding position now places him ahead of a compact chase group that features world‑number‑one Scottie Scheffler, who is poised to make a push in what promises to be a rain‑soaked final round on Sunday. Scheffler, who carded a three‑under‑par 69 to move to nine under, acknowledged Young's control of the leaderboard. "The tournament’s in his hands right now," he said.
"If I can put together a solid round and he continues to play well, it’s going to be a tough battle. All I can do is focus on my own game and see where that puts me at the end." Joining Scheffler on the nine‑under‑par tier are South Korea’s Si Woo Kim, who also recorded a 69, and Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan with an identical score. A few strokes further back, Americans Ben Griffin (68) and Matt McCarty (69) sit at eight under, along with Canada’s Nick Taylor, who posted a 72 but remains tied for the same total. The tournament organizers have warned that Sunday could see more than an inch of rain, with forecasts calling for heavy downpours especially in the afternoon.
In an effort to stay ahead of the worst weather, the final round’s tee‑times have been moved up. Players will start in three‑man groups from split tees, with the first tee‑off scheduled between 7:30 a.m. and 9:40 a.m.
It remains unclear whether President Donald Trump, the owner of the Doral Golf Resort, will make a public appearance during the concluding round; he was expected on site before the schedule shift. For fans eager to follow the action, Sky Sports offers a range of ways to stay updated, including a WhatsApp channel for breaking news, videos, and in‑depth analysis. The network also provides live streaming options for the PGA Tour without the need for a long‑term contract, as well as a dedicated golf podcast for those who prefer audio coverage. Young’s rise to the top of the leaderboard has been steady throughout the week.
He has led after each of the first three rounds, a consistency that mirrors his performance at the Masters earlier in the season, where he finished tied for third at Augusta National. In that event, he was bested by Scheffler, who won by five strokes in the final round.
The memory of that defeat adds an extra layer of motivation for Scheffler as he eyes a potential comeback at Doral. Saturday’s play gave Scheffler a glimpse of what a strong finish could look like. The 18th hole at Dolar is effectively two distinct challenges.
For players lacking the distance to clear the water and reach the wider portion of the fairway, it becomes a daunting par‑four that demands precise shot‑making. For those with the length to attack the more favorable landing area, the hole is considerably more manageable. Scheffler, known for his power and accuracy, comfortably reached the optimal part of the fairway and set up a 172‑yard approach that landed just four feet from the pin. He calmly sank the birdie putt, marking the ninth birdie of the week on the tournament’s finishing hole.
"I found a good spot and hit a nice 9‑iron to finish it off," Scheffler reflected. "It’s always satisfying to tap in at the end." Young, however, was not far behind. His own approach on the 18th measured roughly 165 yards but fell 60 feet short of the hole.
Although his subsequent birdie attempt missed by about eight feet, he managed to save par, thereby preserving his six‑stroke cushion over the field. Beyond the immediate leaderboard drama, the Cadillac Championship serves as a key event in the PGA Tour’s 2026 schedule, offering valuable FedEx Cup points and a substantial purse.
The tournament’s location at Doral, often referred to as the "Blue Monster" for its notoriously challenging back nine, adds historical prestige and tests players’ strategic acumen, especially under adverse weather conditions. As the final round approaches, spectators can expect a strategic battle as golfers weigh aggression against caution. The rain forecast may soften the greens, potentially making putting more treacherous, while the wind could influence club selection on the longer holes.
Players with strong short‑game skills may find an edge if the course becomes soggy, as precise pitching and bunker work become paramount. Sky Sports will broadcast the fourth round live, beginning at 1:30 p.m.
on Sunday. Viewers can also stream the coverage via the Sky Sports Golf app without committing to a long‑term contract, ensuring flexible access for casual fans and die‑hard followers alike. In addition, golf enthusiasts can explore the extensive network of over 1,700 courses across the UK and Ireland, with convenient online booking tools that allow them to experience the game firsthand.
In summary, Cameron Young’s six‑stroke lead places him in a strong position heading into a weather‑impacted finale, but the presence of a determined Scottie Scheffler and a tightly packed chase group means the tournament is far from decided. The combination of strategic tee‑time adjustments, potential rain, and the ever‑present pressure of the "Blue Monster" will test every competitor’s skill set. Whether Young can maintain his composure and extend his lead, or Scheffler can capitalize on his recent momentum to close the gap, will become clear as the final round unfolds under the looming clouds of Sunday’s forecast.
