Cameron Young Triumphs at Trump National Doral, Calls Self-Penalty
MIAMI – Professional golfer Cameron Young secured a victory at the Cadillac Championship, held at Trump National Doral. The win marked the PGA Tour's return to the venue after a decade-long hiatus.
A Word on the President
Following his win, Young addressed the presence of former President Donald Trump, who attended the tournament.
"He's nothing if not a very, very interesting man."
During a press conference, Young elaborated on his experience playing in front of the former president.
"He's very powerful, and it's an honor to get to play in front of him. Hugely grateful to him and his family and his organization that has these beautiful properties and allows us to come and play great golf tournaments on them."
A Display of Integrity
During the final round, Young demonstrated a high standard of sportsmanship by calling a 1-stroke penalty on himself for inadvertently moving a still ball on the fairway.
Tournament Context
The tournament was the PGA Tour's first at Trump National Doral in ten years. According to The Washington Post, attendance figures were lower than those seen at other PGA Tour events. The report suggested several contributing factors, including Trump's involvement, intermittent rain, and the absence of top-tier players such as Rory McIlroy.
