Cameron Young shot a 68 in the final round of the Cadillac Championship and was never threatened on the way to a six-stroke victory in Miami.
Young finished as the wire-to-wire winner at 19 under, with Scottie Scheffler also posting a 68 the runner-up on 13 under. Third was Ben Griffin, a shot further back.
Shane Lowry fired his best round of the week, a 65, to end up on six under. The Offaly player had seven birdies on his card.
Young’s biggest glitch Sunday might have come on the second hole, when he called a penalty on himself after indicating to officials that he saw the ball move as he was about to hit an approach shot on the par-four layout. Despite the one-stroke penalty, he drilled a shot to the green and rolled in a par putt from over 13 feet away.
LEADERBOARD
Young, who began the day leading by six shots opened a seven-stroke lead after birdies on the third and fifth holes. He didn’t have a blip on the scorecard until a bogey on No 11.
Scott had the best round for the second day in a row. His bogey-free round included five birdies during the first eight holes.
Sweden’s Alex Noren birdied the first two holes to hold second place beforethe momentum faded to shoot 69. He finished at 10 under and tied for seventh place with Alex Smalley (69).
The scheduled starting time of the final round was initially moved up several hours as announced Saturday because of weather-related concerns. Then Sunday morning, there was a two-hour delay because of dangerous weather conditions. Golfers then were scheduled to go off from the first and 10th tees.
