Cameron Young picked up his second victory of the season on Sunday at the Cadillac Championship. Saying Young won may undersell the story though; he dominated the field all weekend.

Starting with rounds of 64 and 67 on Thursday and Friday, on a course that is known as the “blue monster” because it’s so difficult, Young kept his foot on the gas pedal over the weekend, closing his win out with rounds of 70 and 68. Young started the final round with a six-shot lead and he finished with a six-shot lead. There were no cracks or hesitation in his game. Nobody was beating him this week.

Young’s second signature event win this season is particularly remarkable when you consider where he was at this point last year. In May 2025, Young had played 12 events, making the cut in exactly half of them. This year, he has played nine events, making the cut every time, while compiling five top 10s and two wins.

Interestingly, there is an explanation for Young’s career resurgence since May 2025 — his caddy, Kyle Sterbinsky. Young hired Sterbinsky ahead of the Truist Championship (May 8-11, 2025) and since that time he has played in 23 events, racking up 13 top-10 finishes and three wins.

The pair met on the Wake Forest golf team, and they’ve been friends ever since, but Sterbinsky’s value is found through his elite green reading skills. In fact, Sterbinsky is such a good green reader he has completely revolutionized his teammates’ putting game and, with it, his career.

Over the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Young ranked 158th and 148th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting, respectively. In 2025 he ranked 7th in strokes gained putting and this year he sits 37th on tour, still well above average. Unsurprisingly, during his blowout win at Doral, Young ranked first in strokes gained putting, gaining 7 strokes on the field.

If you don’t believe Sterbinsky can truly have this much of an effect, just listen to Young himself.

“Caddies can help you with a lot of things, but I don’t know how many you’re going to find who are actually better at reading the greens than any of the players,” Young said in 2025. “If he’s not better, he’s very, very good.”

Hit the Sweet Spot: One simple change has unlocked how good Young can be. It turns out he may be one of the best players in the world, he just didn’t know how to read a green. Few could ever match his incredible length off the tee, but now Young can convert the opportunities he gives himself with those longer drives.

If Young can win one of the next three major championships, he can truly establish himself among the game’s truly elite players. He came close to winning The Masters this year, but he won’t be fully established until he can put his name on a major championship trophy.

Perhaps no major would be as special as the US Open this year at Shinnecock. Aside from the venue being just over an hour from where he grew up, a US Open win would complete the circle on his comeback journey. Last summer his poor form early in the year cost him a spot in the US Open so he was forced to go through local US Open qualifying, eventually winning a 5-for-1 playoff to earn a spot. What could be more perfect, and more representative of the changes he’s made, than if he could go from barely making it through qualifying to winning the entire thing?

Nelly Korda’s incredible start to the season continued in Mexico as she blew away the field with rounds of 68-67-67-69 to win by four. Amazingly, Korda made just two bogeys the entire week (on her second and 72nd hole).

Korda now has three wins and six top-two finishes in six starts. She has played a collective 91 under par in 23 tournament rounds. Unstoppable doesn’t begin to describe her season as she has raced ahead in the Race to CME Globe Rankings, already earning over a million more points than Hyo Joo Kim, who sits in second. The difference between Korda and Kim is roughly the same as the difference between Kim and Akie Iwai, who ranks 18th.

After a down year in 2025, I think it’s safe to say that Korda is now all the way back to being her old self.
