Cameron Young Leads by 5 at Doral — Where Is The Cadillac Championship Being Played
Cameron Young carried a five-shot lead into the weekend at the Cadillac Championship, and the answer to where is the cadillac championship being played is Miami at Trump National Doral. He reached 36 holes with control of the tournament after 31 holes on a 7,700-yard layout before his first bogey.

Young’s margin is the cleanest number on the board. He led after 36 holes and opened the weekend five shots clear, putting him in position to turn recent winning form into another result at a high-profile PGA Tour event.
The 25-year-old has already shown he can close on Tour. He won the Wyndham Championship last year, then added THE PLAYERS Championship in March, giving this lead a different feel than a standard Friday surge.
He also comes into Miami with scar tissue from bigger stages. Young went toe-to-toe with Matt Fitzpatrick on the Stadium Course and came out ahead, but he went toe-to-toe with Rory McIlroy at the Masters and came up short.
Scottie Scheffler in the pairing
Young was grouped with Scottie Scheffler in the marquee pairing, which put the leader beside the world No. 1 while the field tried to close the gap. Scheffler said, “I felt like I gave myself more looks today than I had yesterday, especially on the back nine,” and, “Keep doing that over the course of the next couple days, I think I’ll be in a decent spot.”
That pairing added weight to the leaderboard because Young did not build the cushion in isolation. He was tracking another top name while the scorecard kept moving in his favor, and the five-shot edge now forces everyone else to chase rather than press their own pace.
Miami against the field
The setting matters because the Cadillac Championship was being played in Miami while Formula 1 was setting up shop across town. Young’s lead after 36 holes leaves the weekend centered on whether the rest of the field can cut into that five-shot spread before the tournament turns to its final stretch.
