Overview

  • Cameron Young shot 2-under 70 in the third round to reach 15 under and take a six-stroke lead over Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim and Kristoffer Reitan at Trump National Doral.
  • Scottie Scheffler closed with a 69 to get to nine under and said the tournament is in Young’s hands as he tries to mount a final-round charge.
  • Tournament officials moved the finale to split tees with 7:30–9:40 a.m. starts because heavy rain is forecast, which could change course conditions and scoring.
  • Young built his cushion with opening rounds of 64 and 67 and ranked first in strokes gained putting and total through 36 holes, reflecting both hot putting and all-around control.
  • Scheffler’s ball-striking has been strong with top-15 ranks off the tee and on approach, but weaker short game and putting have limited gains and leave him needing more made putts to contend.
