PGA TOUR

Cameron Young went wire-to-wire for a six-shot victory at the Cadillac Championship. It is his second win of the season and third career PGA Tour title, third in the last nine months. He joins Matt Fitzpatrick and Chris Gotterup as the only multiple winners so far this season. His wire-to-wire victory is the first at Doral since 1977, and he’s the second player to go wire-to-wire this season. What kind of day was it for Young? He called a one-shot penalty on himself at No. 2 after his ball moved slightly and he still made a 14-foot putt to save par. World No. 1 Scottie Sheffler finished runner-up for the third straight time since the Masters, becoming the first player since 2014 to accomplish that feat. It’s his 29th consecutive top-25 finish. …Nick Taylor earned his first top-10 result of the season and his first since last June. He made a 62-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole in the first round, his fourth putt of over 60 feet in regulation play in his PGA Tour career.  …Sudarshan Yellamaraju recorded his sixth top-30 finish of the season. …Corey Conners notched his fourth top-30 finish of the year.

It is his fourth win of the season and second major title in two weeks. He’s the second player in the last two years to win the first two majors on the Champions Tour.

LPGA TOUR

Nelly Korda had two birdies and an eagle over the first seven holes on the way to a second straight dominant win at the Riviera Maya Open. It is her 18th career win and third of the season, coming off her major title a week ago. It’s the 15th time since 1950 that a player won a major and followed it up by winning the week after, and the first time since 2023. Korda became the first player since Annika Sorenstam in 2001 to start a season with six straight tournaments finishing no worse than runner-up. With the victory, Korda picks up her 23rd of 27 points needed for induction into the LPGA Hall of Fame. Her winning score of 17-under 271 set a new tournament record as she was the only player in the field to record all four rounds in the 60s. Her streak of bogey-free holes ended at 60 when she made a bogey on the final hole of the tournament. Arpichaya Yubol of Thailand celebrated her 24th birthday with a runner-up finish, her best career result to date. …Maude-Aimee Leblanc recorded her best result in an LPGA event in three years
