SUB 60 HEADLINES

Cameron Young has spent the last two years being called the best player without a Signature Event win. He fixed that — emphatically. Young led from the first round to the last at the inaugural Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral's Blue Monster, pulling away for a six-shot victory at 19-under par and pocketing $3.6 million of the $20 million purse. It was his second win of 2026 (joining The Players in March) and the kind of statement win that separates contenders from closers.

Scottie Scheffler finished solo second at -13 — his third consecutive runner-up since the Masters. Ben Griffin was third at -12, while Adam Scott, Sepp Straka and Si Woo Kim shared fourth at -11. Scott's weekend deserves its own headline: he opened with a 76 after a wrong-ball penalty on the par-5 8th, then went 66-64 Saturday-Sunday to nearly crash the top 3. A reminder that 45 still has plenty of game.

OTHER TOUR ACTION

On the LPGA, Nelly Korda is doing things that haven't been done in over 20 years. She won the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen by four shots at -17, claiming her third LPGA win of 2026 — the week after winning The Chevron Championship. Six starts. Six top-two finishes. Three wins. A major. At some point, we stop calling it a hot streak and just call it dominance. Arpichaya Yubol (THA) finished second at -13, with Yu Liu (CHN) third at -12.

Finally, over on the Champions Tour, Stewart Cink claimed the Regions Tradition — the first senior major of 2026 — in his home state of Alabama at Greystone G&CC. Cink won by three at -18 for his fourth win of 2026 and second consecutive senior major, having won the Senior PGA just two weeks prior. Scott Hend was second at -15, Colin Montgomerie third at -13.

QUEEN CITY UP NEXT

The PGA Tour heads to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina for the Truist Championship (May 6-10), the sixth and final Signature Event before the PGA Championship. The $20 million, no-cut event has a loaded field — and one very familiar name leading the charge.

Rory McIlroy is back. The back-to-back Masters champion took last week off by design, and now returns to a course some have nicknamed "Rory McIlroy Country Club." He's won there four times (2010, 2015, 2021, 2024) and arrives with three 2026 victories already on his card. Cameron Young, Sepp Straka (defending champion), Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose are also in the field. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is notably absent — he's skipping ahead of next week's PGA Championship at Aronimink. The "Green Mile" closing stretch (holes 16-18) will separate the contenders from everyone else. Watch the back nine on Sunday.
