Scottie Scheffler finds himself the golfing bridesmaid for a third tournament running after his second place finish at the Cadillac Championship at Doral.
Scheffler posted a final round 68 ending a distant six shots adrift of fellow Cameron Young who was unchallenged, also signing for a closing 64 to be never headed in capturing the touranment at 19-under-par.
Scheffler kick-started his run of second place results being runner-up to Rory McIlroy at the Masters while a week late England’s Matt Fitzpatrick denied him victory at the RBC Heritage.
Now Young has kept Sheffler and daylight in second place.

As for Scheffler, it was a scenario of so close yet so far for the Texan.
Indeed, Scheffler has created a career first having never before in his pro career finished ‘the bridesmaid’ for three events in succession.
The champion Texas golfer has had three third place finishes in succession – the 2023 Charles Schwab Championship, the 2023 Memorial and the 2023 US Open – while he’s also never savoured a hat-trick of wins or for that matter.
