Scottie Scheffler summed up his final round at the Cadillac Championship in his usual straightforward manner. “I felt like I couldn’t really get anything going. I was hitting it decent enough. Just putts were going kind of around the hole. Tough to get a lot of momentum,” he said after posting a 68.
The world No. 1 birdied holes 15 through 17 to secure second place at Doral, finishing six shots behind winner Cameron Young. This marks his third straight runner-up finish on the PGA Tour, following close calls at the Masters and RBC Heritage.
Despite no victory since the season-opening American Express, Scheffler’s consistent play has been highly rewarding. His latest payout of $2.18 million pushed his career PGA Tour earnings over the $110 million mark. He now sits third on the all-time list, closing in on second-place Rory McIlroy.
