The final round of the Cadillac Championship was moved up to a 7:30 a.m. ET start with groups teeing off from the Nos. 1 and 10 holes due to Sunday’s forecast in Miami calling for heavy thunderstorms and rain.
Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix also moved up the start of its race from 4 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Cameron Young holds a six-shot lead entering the final round at Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster Course following a 2-under-par 70 on Saturday that put him at 15 under for the tournament. The fifth elevated event of the season features a $20 million purse.
Young will tee off in the final group at 9:42 a.m. along with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and South Korea’s Si Wo Kim, who are tied for second along with Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan at 9 under.
“I think I tend to play well at difficult golf courses, difficult setups, difficult conditions,” Young said after completing a third round that featured significantly more wind than the first 36 holes. “This is all of those things. I think it plays into my hands a little bit.”
Young will be looking for his second victory of the season and the third of his career on the PGA Tour during Sunday’s final round.
“I’m sure it will not be as easy as I want it to be,” Young said. “Sounds like the weather is not going to be great. It will be a fight from the beginning and just looking to execute the way that I did for the most part today.”
Scheffler shot 69 to move to second place by the time he finished the third round.
“The tournament’s in (Young’s) hands right now,” Scheffler said. “I can go out and have a really good round, and if he has another really good round he’s going to be a tough guy to catch.”
