  • 2026 Cadillac Championship leaderboard: Cameron Young extends lead, Scottie Scheffler climbs again in Round 3

    Despite some early stress to start his third round, Cameron Young emerged from Moving Day at the 2026 Cadillac Championship unscathed and still in possession of a massive lead.

    Young shot a 2-under 70 to maintain his position atop the leaderboard at Trump National Doral by reaching 15 under, extending his lead to six shots over a trio of challengers in second at 9 under, headlined by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

    Young’s third round got off to a rocky start when he found the water right of the green with his second shot on the par-5 1st, and failed to two-putt from his drop in the fringe to save par. That dropped him back to 12 under, and when he walked off the third green after two more pars, his five-shot lead to start the day had been trimmed to just two by playing partner Nick Taylor.

    The difficult par-3 4th was where Young began to turn around his fortunes, finding the green from 220 yards away and then finally getting his speed right on a putt to set up a stress-free par. That seemed to calm him down and allowed him to pick up back-to-back birdies that pushed his lead back out to four shots walking off the 6th, and he never felt any more real pressure from the rest of the chase pack.

    After a birdie on the 15th, Young moved to 15 under and found himself six shots ahead facing the challenging closing stretch at the Blue Monster. He navigated the typically difficult closing two holes with relative ease to make a pair of solid pars to close out his round and put himself in prime position to pick up his second big win of the year in the state of Florida — and third career victory — on Sunday.

    With inclement weather in the forecast for Sunday afternoon, tee times were moved up to the morning in threesomes off split tees for the final round, meaning Young will go off at 9:40 a.m. ET alongside Scheffler — who he played with on Thursday and Friday — as well as Si Woo Kim.

    Those two will face the daunting task of making up a six-shot deficit on a player who is dominating the golf course, even without taking advantage of the holes you are typically supposed to at Doral. For the week, Young is just 1 under on the par 5s at the Blue Monster, which are supposed to be where players are able to pick up shots before holding on the rest of the way. Young, meanwhile, has torn up the par 4s and par 3s, showing off a masterful ball-striking display and some phenomenal putting to nearly lap the field through 54 holes.

    If there were any nerves early on Saturday, Young was able to shake them off early and settled himself back down to go about the task at hand. Scheffler and Kim will look to apply some early pressure to Young at the start of the round by putting some birdies on the card, but the way Young has been playing this week, it’s hard to see him giving too many shots back to help them out.

    Sunday contenders

    T2. Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim, Kristoffer Reitan (-9)
    T5. Matt McCarty, Nick Taylor (-8)
    T8. Alex Noren, Akshay Bhatia, Alex Smalley (-7)

    Scheffler was hoping to make an even stronger charge on Saturday, but his 3-under 69 was enough to get him into the final grouping on Sunday with a shot at running down Young. To get there, Scheffler authored the shot of the day with an absolute dart on the 18th, setting up a short birdie putt to get into the clubhouse at 9 under and assure himself a spot in that final group.

    It will be a very comfortable group for Scheffler, who gets to play with his Dallas-based buddy Si Woo Kim, who had a nice round himself with a 69 to also climb four spots on the leaderboard into a share of second. Young will be comfortable with that group as well, as he thrived playing alongside Scheffler early in the week, but things will feel just a bit different alongside Scheffler on a Sunday trying to wrap up a win.

    The other player in that tie for second is Kristoffer Reitan, who has impressed in his rookie year on the PGA Tour. He’s in position for his third top 10 of the season, and doing so in a Signature event would earn him his largest career payday.

    Taylor was in position to really push Young, but a double bogey on the 7th really knocked him off the tracks and despite a solid rebound early on the back nine, he never got himself back in Young’s draft to try and reel him in. Everyone trailing Young feels like they’ll need help to catch him, but it’s hard to see how anyone outside of that trio in second are able to even push Young to a stressful finish.

    Updated Cadillac Championship odds, picks

    • Cameron Young (1/6)
    • Scottie Scheffler (15/2)
    • Si Woo Kim (27-1)
    • Kristoffer Reitan (40-1)

    It’d take a truly disastrous final round for Young not to walk off the 18th green as the champion, but it will be interesting to see what happens late if some weather starts rolling in. If anyone is going to catch him it’s Scheffler, but this feels like a statement victory is on its way for Young.

  • 2026 Kentucky Derby results: Golden Tempo makes history under first female trainer to win Run for the Roses

    Golden Tempo (23-1) made history at the 152nd Kentucky Derby, as the 19 horse pulled off an improbable stretch run from the outside to edge out co-favorite Renegade (5-1) at the finish line and make Cherie DeVaux the first female trainer to have a horse win the Run for the Roses.

    Golden Tempo came from well back in the pack after they came around the final turn, but a comfortable race pace meant most of the field came into the stretch with a chance to win with a great kick. It was jockey Jose Ortiz who was able to get the most out of his horse on that closing stretch to outrun Renegade and the rest of the field to the wire and make some Kentucky Derby history in the process.

    “It is a family sport for us,” Golden Tempo owner Daisy Phipps Pulito said after the race. “Almost our whole family is here today, and the Violas, our extended family who we get to campaign the horse with. It’s life changing for all of us to win the Kentucky Derby when you win a race like this, it’s the pinnacle of our sport.”

    Coming in third was a longshot, Ocelli, while last year’s winning jockey and trainer combo of John Velasquez and Bill Mott had Chief Wallabee come in fourth in their attempt at a repeat bid.

    16. Intrepido (55-1)
    17. Litmus Test (34-1)
    18. Pavlovian (51-1)

    Coming into the race it was expected to be a wide open Run for the Roses, as three horses closed as co-favorites at 5-1, and that uncertainty proved out in the race as a bunched field made for a wild race to the finish, with Golden Tempo coming out victorious from the 19 post.

    “In the summer of 2017, I was really at a crossroads in life,” DeVaux said. “And [my husband] told me I owed it to myself to at least try [horse training] and he had the faith in me and saw what I didn’t see.”

    The race was drama-filled from before the start, as the 21 horse, Great White, was a late scratch at the starting gate after he bucked off his jockey and flipped over backwards. Veterinarians on site opted to scratch Great White and take him back to the paddock, causing the rest of the field to unload from the gate, circle around and re-post.

    Once the race began, the 18 remaining horses ran the mile-and-a-quarter race without any more incident, ultimately ending in a thrilling victory for Golden Tempo, Ortiz and DeVaux.

  • Stankoven, Andersen lead Hurricanes past Flyers 3-0 in Game 1 of 2nd-round series

    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Logan Stankoven scored twice to continue his postseason tear and the Carolina Hurricanes smothered the Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-0 victory Saturday night to open the second-round series.

    Jackson Blake also scored for Carolina, and Frederik Andersen stopped 19 shots for his second shutout of these playoffs and seventh in his postseason career.

    Game 2 of the series is Monday night in Raleigh, with Carolina yet to trail in any of its five postseason games so far after jumping to a 2-0 first-period lead in this one.

    “We had a good start, obviously,” Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “That’s what won the game.”

    Carolina closed a first-round sweep of Ottawa last weekend, then had an extended break while the Flyers battled to push past Pittsburgh in overtime of Game 6 on Wednesday night. That led to rest-versus-rust conversations about how the Eastern Conference’s top seed would start Saturday night.

    Instead, the Hurricanes pounced from the opening puck drop, a departure from how all four regular-season meetings went to overtime or a shootout.

    Stankoven scored in each of the four wins against the Senators, then scored on a redirect from the slot just 1:31 in.

    “I think you’re just trying to get it off quick,” Stankoven said. “Obviously, it’s nice to have that confidence that comes with putting the puck in the net, and yeah, you just kind of build off of it.”

    Blake followed at 7:30, splitting two defenders as he entered the zone and charging in to slip a puck behind Dan Vladar.

    That was more than enough offense on this night with the Flyers struggling to apply much pressure on Andersen – who opened the Ottawa series with a shutout, too.

    “We definitely came ready to play,” Andersen said.

    Philadelphia started its first postseason since 2020 by battling through Pittsburgh to close out a six-game series in overtime on Cam York’s Wednesday night winner. But the Flyers sputtered from the start, managing just nine shots on goal through two periods and being outshot 3-2 on their four power plays for the night.

    Otherwise, they struggled to find much open ice with Carolina’s aggressive style closing in rapidly to shut down lanes toward Andersen or for the pass.

    “We talked about it, we just didn’t live it on the ice,” Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said, pointing to a need to react quicker against Carolina’s pressure. “We weren’t quick enough for their speed. … It’s a good baptism how some of our players are going to have to play.”

    By the final 10 minutes, the game had turned testy with players having to be separated multiple times. That included 10-minute misconduct penalties on Philadelphia’s Trevor Zegras and Nick Seeler, along with Blake and Shayne Gostisbehere for Carolina.

    Both teams were down key players. The Flyers didn’t have regular-season goals leader Owen Tippett because of an undisclosed injury, while the Hurricanes were missing defenseman Alexander Nikishin after he suffered a concussion in Game 4 against Ottawa.

    Carolina veteran Mike Reilly drew in for Nikishin and had the primary assist on Stankoven’s first goal and the secondary assist on Blake’s score.

  • Joel Embiid leads 76ers to 109-100 Game 7 win over Celtics to complete comeback from 3-1 deficit

    BOSTON (AP) Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, beating the Jayson Tatum-less Boston Celtics 109-100 on Saturday night to complete the NBA’s 14th comeback from a 3-1 deficit.

    Embiid finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. Tyrese Maxey added 30 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. VJ Edgecombe scored 23 points and Paul George had 13.

    Philadelphia, the No. 7 seed, will visit No. 3 New York on Monday night in Game 1 of the second round.

    The Sixers franchise, including its time as Syracuse Nationals, improved to 2-10 in road Game 7s. Its only other win came in 1982 at the Boston Garden. It’s a small measure of revenge after Boston blew out Philadelphia in Game 7 in the second round of the 2023 playoffs.

    “We had a chance to beat them three years ago, didn’t do it. We came in and got it done,” Maxey said.

    Embiid, who debuted in Game 4 after recovering from appendectomy surgery, is the first player in NBA history to score 100 points in a playoff series despite missing the first three games. He and Maxey also became the third duo in league history to each have 25 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a Game 7.

    Jaylen Brown led Boston with 33 points and nine rebounds. Derrick White had 26 points, including five 3-pointers. Neemias Queta finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Celtics struggled from the 3-point line for the third straight game, finishing 13 of 49.

    Brown said Embiid changed tenor of the series.

    “He put a lot of pressure on us,” Brown said. “We didn’t really have the answers for him.”

    Boston coach Joe Mazzulla shrugged off any notion that his team was too dependent on 3s in the series.

    “I love the looks that we got. I love the process that we had.. But I hate the result,” Mazzulla said.

    The second-seeded Celtics made their earliest exit from the playoffs since the 2020-21 season. Boston fell to 32-1 when leading a series 3-1.

    The Celtics played without Tatum after he was ruled out about 90 minutes before tipoff with left knee stiffness. Brown said he didn’t find out until about 45 minutes before the game.

    “Nobody told me anything. But my mindset was the same,” Brown said.

    Philadelphia led for all but 31 seconds in the game, increasing a five-point halftime edge to 18 points in the third quarter. It was down to 13 at the start of the fourth and Boston opened the period on a 16-4 run to pull within 92-91.

    The 76ers were leading 101-98 when Maxey got free for a layup with 1:15 remaining. Boston missed its next four shots and Philadelphia pushed it to 105-98 on a pair of free throws by Maxey.

    Mazzulla said Tatum came to the team facility Saturday with knee discomfort, and the medical team decided for him not to play. Tatum briefly left Game 6 in the third quarter for unspecified treatment to his left calf. Mazzulla downplayed the significance, saying initially Tatum would play in Game 7.

    With Tatum out, Mazzulla made radical changes to the starting lineup, opting to start Baylor Scheierman, Luka Garza and Ron Harper Jr. alongside Brown and White.

    It was the first time that group started together this season and the Celtics quickly fell into a 9-0 hole. Philadelphia led by 15 in the first quarter and 32-19 when it ended.

    Unlike in their losses in Games 5 and 6, the Celtics weren’t as quick to fire up 3s, instead opting to attack the interior of Philadelphia’s defense to get easier looks.

    Boston started the second on an 18-4 run to take its first lead of the night, 37-36, on a 3-pointer by Payton Pritchard. The 76ers led 55-50 at halftime.

    I pretty much agree with everything Josh Nagel said in his pick. We are getting a mega-discount because no Jayson Tatum. If this were away? Nope. But I’m sure Joel Embiid will trip on a Twizzler or something and basically even that out. And I just don’t have faith in the Sixers. At all. Why would we? If someone says Playoff Paul George again, I shall heave like a hungover college student who made the mistake of having beets the night before. So, yeah, Dwight Schrute.

    LOSS
    DraftKings. Even with Jayson Tatum ruled out, I don’t see that changing Derrick White’s role in terms of rebounds. His job defensively is to guard Tyrese Maxey, which he’s done for over 62% of his matchup minutes this series. The result has been 2.8 rebounds per game, on 5.5 chances. Plus, in full games without Jayson Tatum and with Jaylen Brown this season, White averaged 4.6 rebounds per 36 minutes. Against the Joel Embiid led 76ers (which leads to less rebound chances due to more turnovers and more free throws), I like White to stay under. I’d bet this to -152.

  • Shota Imanaga and Cubs end Ildemaro Vargas’ 27-game hit streak as they blank Diamondbacks 2-0

    CHICAGO (AP) Shota Imanaga pitched seven crisp innings and the Chicago Cubs ended Ildemaro Vargas’ 27-game hitting streak while blanking the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0 on Saturday.

    Ian Happ homered, tripled and doubled for the Cubs, who extended their winning streak at Wrigley Field to 10 games, their longest at home since 2008.

    Vargas had hit safely in 24 games to start this season and three to end last season. He went 0 for 4, grounding out against Ben Brown in his final opportunity as the Diamondbacks lost their third straight.

    Imanaga allowed four hits, struck out five and walked one on 87 pitches in his second scoreless appearance of six innings or more this season. Brown retired all six batters he faced for his first save.

    Happ led off the second with a 399-foot homer to right field into a stiff breeze off Ryne Nelson (1-3), his eighth this season. He extended his on-base streak to 23 games, the longest active streak in the majors.

    Happ added a double in the sixth and a triple in the eighth, the only player to record more than one hit. Seiya Suzuki drove in Happ in the eighth with a sacrifice fly off Juan Morillo.

    Nelson allowed one run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings.

    The Cubs had not won 10 in a row at home since they had 14 straight victories at Wrigley from May 18-June 22, 2008.

    Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner, who left Friday’s game with neck tightness, did not play and is considered day to day.

    RHP Merrill Kelly (1-2, 9.20 ERA) starts for Arizona on Sunday against Cubs LHP Matthew Boyd (1-1, 7.00).

    • Diamondbacks’ Ildemaro Vargas: Extends streak with four-hit game

      Vargas went 4-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Friday’s 6-5 loss to the Cubs.

      While Arizona wasn’t able to take advantage of having Vargas on base every time through the order, it was still another impressive effort from the 34-year-old switch hitter. Vargas has hit safely in 24 straight games to begin the campaign, tied for the second-longest streak within a single season in Diamondbacks history with Tony Womack in 2000, and his overall streak stands at 27 games dating back to the end of last year — putting him within striking distance of matching or exceeding Luis Gonzalez’s club-record streak of 30 games, set in 1999. Vargas is slashing a stunning .404/.429/.702 so far in 2026 with 14 extra-base hits, including six homers to already tie his career high, along with 19 runs and 21 RBI.

    • Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen: Mauled by Cubs

      Gallen (1-2) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and three walks over 3.2 innings as the Diamondbacks were downed 6-5 by the Cubs. He struck out three.

      Chicago ambushed the right-hander for three runs in the first inning, and another three-spot in the fourth chased Gallen from the game after 95 pitches (57 strikes). The performance ended a stretch of five straight starts in which he’d given up three runs or fewer, and Gallen will take a 4.45 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 32.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Pirates.

  • 2026 Cadillac Championship leaderboard: Cameron Young extends lead in Round 2, Scottie Scheffler joins pursuit

    cam-young.jpg

    Getty Images

    After a scintillating 8-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-shot lead at the Cadillac Championship, Cameron Young picked up where he left off to begin his second round and quickly extended that advantage to create significant distance between himself and the field.

    Young made four birdies in his first seven holes on Friday on his way to a second round 67 that moved him to 13 under and gave him a five-shot lead heading into the weekend.

    Young’s torrid scoring pace slowed on the back nine as the breeze finally stiffened at Trump National Doral, creating some challenges for the players in the afternoon. As the conditions became tougher, Young’s abilities around the greens were able to shine and keep him on track for another round in the mid-60s.

    That was particularly notable on the extremely challenging 18th as he hit his approach long and right, but was able to get up-and-down for par from the Bermuda rough with a gorgeous chip to inside a foot. After cleaning that up, Young signed for a 67 that got him into the clubhouse at 13 under. That is a lower score than the last three winners finished with over 72 holes at Doral back in the WGC days.

    Young entered the week second in the odds as he seemed like a terrific course fit, as distance has always been a huge advantage on the lengthy Blue Monster. The irony in his performance thus far is that his driving has been the least consistent part of his game, but it’s his play everywhere else that’s making the difference.

    “I think I just managed misses really well, I putted really well. I feel like I just took advantage of the opportunities I had,” Young said. “I didn’t hit it terrible but I just wasn’t consistently in position all day, I didn’t drive it amazing. I think that’s kind of what I would like to do better tomorrow.”

    He’s leading the field in putting, fifth in strokes gained on approach and has gotten up-and-down 12-of-13 times, which is how you go about making just one bogey in your first 36 holes at a course with as much danger as the Blue Monster.

    As he heads into the weekend with a big lead, Young will lean not just on his tremendous physical tools, but an improved mental approach to get him his second big event win of the season. Young has found a greater sense of calm on the golf course, which allows him to better handle pressure situations.

    “I’ll take whatever I can get. I feel like I’ve been around the lead quite a bit, I’m not particularly uncomfortable,” Young said. “I’ve liked this golf course thus far. So that being said I’ll take whatever advantage you’re going to give me. There’s a lot of guys right there, four or five back, and I’m sure somebody will be 4-under through 5 tomorrow so you just have to be ready for that and go from there.”

    That mentality will serve him well this weekend because even with a five-stroke lead, there’s nothing easy about finishing out a win on the PGA Tour — especially at a signature event.

    Weekend contenders

    T2. Nick Taylor, Jordan Spieth, Alex Smalley (-8)
    5. Gary Woodland (-7)

    T6. Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim, Alex Fitzpatrick, Kristoffer Reitan, Taylor Pendrith, Brian Harman (-6)

    While he couldn’t replicate his red-hot performance from Thursday, Jordan Spieth was able to stay in a tie for second with a 1-under 71, courtesy of a lengthy birdie roll on the last to create some positive momentum heading into the weekend. Spieth’s popped up on leaderboards a number of times this season early in the week, but we’ve yet to really see him string together four strong enough rounds to truly contend. That will be his challenge this weekend, but buoyed by some confidence with a new driver and new ball he seems to really like, he’ll try to put a little extra heat on Young with a big Moving Day.

    Scottie Scheffler had a front-row seat to Young’s phenomenal play the first two days, and after the World No. 1’s latest slow start on Thursday, he kicked into gear with a bogey-free 67 on Friday to move into the top 10. Scheffler was able to get on track with his ball-striking, hitting 15 greens in the second round, and while he wanted to get a bit more out of his putter, he was able to move into striking distance heading into the weekend. While Scheffler has seven shots to make up, we’ve seen a number of times this season that once he gets things figured out on Friday he tends to keep that charge going on Saturday and Sunday to find himself in the mix late.

    Perhaps the most surprising name in the top 10 is Alex Fitzpatrick, who is trying to make it three straight wins for a Fitzpatrick brother on the PGA Tour after earning his Tour card with a win alongside brother Matt last week at the Zurich Classic.

    Updated Cadillac Championship odds, picks

    Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

    • Cameron Young (5/11)
    • Scottie Scheffler (7-1)
    • Jordan Spieth (15-1)
    • Gary Woodland (30-1)
    • Nick Taylor (33-1)
    • Si Woo Kim (33-1)

    I liked Young entering the week and he’s proven to be in a different class through 36 holes, but at this point the opportunity to buy in on Young at value may be gone. Scheffler is certainly live and we know what he typically does on the weekend in this position. I think Kim and Woodland also could have a little value as sprinkles given Kim’s ability to take it deep and Woodland’s distance should present him with ample opportunities to put a dent in Young’s lead if the leader slips up at all. This certainly feels like it’s going to be a weekend where Young cements his place as one of the Tour’s top stars, but all year we’ve seen guys with big leads entering the weekend face significant challenges closing things out.
