Cameron Young continues to dominate the Cadillac Championship, having widened his advantage to six strokes after posting a solid two‑under‑70 round that brought his total to 15 under par. His commanding position now places him ahead of a tightly packed group that includes world‑number‑one Scottie Scheffler, who is preparing for a final round that could be hampered by rain on Sunday. Scheffler, who carded a three‑under‑69 to move to nine under overall, acknowledged Young's current control of the tournament. "The tournament's in his hands right now," Scheffler said.
"I can go out and have a really good round, and if he has another really good round he's going to be a tough guy to catch. All I can do is go out and try and have a great round and see where that leaves me." Joining Scheffler on the nine‑under board are South Korea’s Si Woo Kim and Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan, both of whom also recorded 69‑shot rounds. A few strokes further back, Americans Ben Griffin (68) and Matt McCarty (69) as well as Canada’s Nick Taylor (72) sit at eight under. Rain is forecast to be a major factor on Sunday, with some models predicting more than an inch of precipitation and heavy downpours expected in the afternoon.
To mitigate the impact of the weather, tournament officials have moved the final round forward, scheduling tee times between 7:30 a.m. and 9:40 a.m.
in three‑player groups from split tees. It remains unclear whether President Donald Trump, the owner of the Doral course, will make a public appearance during the concluding round; he was initially expected on site before the schedule shift.

Young’s run at Doral follows a strong showing at the Masters, where he held the lead through three rounds before finishing tied for third after Rory McIlroy edged him by two strokes. In that same Masters final round, Scheffler outperformed Young by five shots, a margin that will likely motivate him to deliver an even better performance at Doral if he hopes to overtake the leader on Sunday.
Saturday’s closing hole, the 18th at Doral, proved pivotal for both players. The hole essentially splits into two distinct challenges: a demanding par‑4 that requires a 300‑plus‑yard carry over water to reach the optimal landing area, and a slightly less severe version for those who can safely negotiate the distance.
Scheffler, known for his power off the tee, comfortably reached the preferred portion of the fairway and capitalized on the opportunity. From 172 yards out, he placed his ball just four feet from the pin, setting up a straightforward birdie putt, which he sank to record the ninth birdie of the week. "Just ended up in a good spot and really nice 9‑iron in there to finish off," Scheffler reflected.
"It's always nice to have a little tap in at the last." Young, however, was not far behind. His approach from roughly 165 yards landed about 60 feet short of the cup. Although his subsequent birdie attempt fell eight feet shy, he managed to secure par, preserving his six‑stroke cushion over the field. The final round promises a dramatic showdown, especially with the looming threat of rain.
Players will need to balance aggressive play with strategic caution, particularly on the water‑guarded 18th. A wet course can make the fairways slower and the greens more receptive, potentially turning a modest miss into a costly mistake. Conversely, those who can adapt quickly to the conditions may find opportunities to climb the leaderboard.
