His weekend was defined by incredible integrity, calling a penalty on himself early in the final round to secure the win."Your heart sinks... no one was going to give me a penalty but myself," Young said, while Trevor Immelman compared his raw talent to Scheffler and McIlroy.Young's self-imposed penalty on the second hole proved his elite character matches his elite game, capping off a brilliant four days of 64, 67, 70, and 68.SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER'S RUNNER-UP MAGICScottie Scheffler secured his third straight runner-up finish at 13-under, dazzling fans with a 283-yard driver off the deck and a masterful bunker shot on the 16th hole that left the broadcast booth in absolute awe."I do not have to smash it, I got 56," Scheffler noted, prompting Jim Nantz to predict he'll complete the career grand slam at Pebble Beach in 2027.Scheffler actually learned that audacious driver-off-the-deck shot from fellow pro Si Woo Kim.VETERAN RESURGENCE & DORAL'S BITEAdam Scott fired a Sunday 64 to finish T-4th after fixing a swing flaw, while Rickie Fowler grabbed a T-9th finish in his traditional Sunday orange. Meanwhile, Doral's claustrophobic 18th hole continued to terrorize the field.Jhonattan Vegas advised players to just accept bogey on the 18th because "you can make a massive number."Shane Bacon praised Adam Scott's incredible "longevity" ahead of his 100th consecutive major, while Johnson Wagner noted Rickie Fowler's swing "does not have the loop" anymore.OFF-COURSE DRAMA & TRUMP'S LIV PREDICTIONThe tournament featured intense off-course headlines, including a Secret Service takedown of a disruptive fan and Donald Trump making waves from his suite by advocating for an imminent PGA and LIV Golf reunification.Citing drying Saudi funds, Trump stated: "They will all be accepted by the tour, they will all be back on tour and it will be great."Agent Michael Townsend confirmed the disruptive fan "made physical contact" before the intense security takedown occurred.Quick HitsBen Griffin's distance gains lead to a 3rd place finish and a major win prediction at Aronimink from Johnson Wagner • Akshay Bhatia hits a 180 mph drive and viral bicep flex, while Alex Fitzpatrick hits a 298-yard driver off the deck for a debut eagle • Nelly Korda suffers a scary wrist injury on a tree root on the 13th hole, prompting the broadcast to warn, "Got to be careful."
