The 28-year-old is in pole position to win his third PGA Tour title on Sunday at the Cadillac Championship.
Cam Young is ranked as the fourth best player in the world right now, and he is living up to that billing at the Cadillac Championship, if not surpassing it.
If anything, he has proven that he is actually the most in-form golfer on the planet right now.

Cam Young heads into the final round of the Cadillac Championship with a six-shot lead.
If he plays anything like he has done during the first three rounds on Sunday, he will have no problem whatsoever closing out the victory.

It has proved to be a real challenge for most of the field this week, aside from Young of course!
With the wind and intense heat in Miami this week, the course has been baking out and getting firmer and firmer as the tournament has progressed.

“It’s in great shape,“ he said.
“Fairways are really good. The greens are starting to dry out a little bit just with the wind and the sun. But obviously that’s not going to be a problem tomorrow.

“Yeah, I think the course has held up great. The rough is doable but still penal in the wrong places and, yeah, I think they did a really nice job of it.“
Cam Young on how course conditions suit his game
Young responded when asked by reporters why the golf course at Trump National Doral suits his game so much.
“I think I tend to play well at difficult golf courses, difficult setups, difficult conditions,“ the American insisted.
“This is all of those things. I think it plays into my hands a little bit. Mentally it’s a little easier for me when the scoring is not so low.
“Yeah, just feel like I’ve done my job well the last few days.“

Young just needs to play solid, smart golf on Sunday, as he looks to close out the Cadillac Championship.
He certainly has the game and mentality required to do so, but with Scottie Scheffler lurking and sitting alongside him in the final group, he won’t be able to rest on his laurels.
