Cameron Young says it’s an ‘honor’ to play in front of President Trump after win at Cadillac Championship

As the PGA Tour calendar rapidly approaches another major, Scottie Scheffler continues to be the best player in the world due to his consistent ability to contend in nearly every tournament.

Rory McIlroy is coming off his second consecutive win at The Masters, a remarkable achievement at one of the tour’s toughest golf courses. After a lengthy major championship drought, McIlroy finally got his career Grand Slam and seems set to be a threat in every big tournament moving forward.

But the hottest golfer in the sport right now might be Cameron Young.

Young’s run started at the Genesis Invitational, where he finished tied for seventh. Then at Bay Hill, one of the toughest courses on the calendar, he finished tied for third. He won the unofficial “5th major” at THE PLAYERS Championship a week later, before finishing tied for third at The Masters.

TRUMP SAYS PGA-LIV ‘MERGE’ WOULD BE A ‘GREAT THING’ AS TALKS BETWEEN TOURS CONTINUE

A few weeks later, at a signature event at the fearsome Trump National Doral “Blue Monster” course, Young on Sunday finished out a dominant six-shot win. His second win of the season, a $3.6 million purse, -19 to Scheffler’s -13. And to top it off, President Trump was there to see it happen.

With the president in attendance, security and tournament procedures were drastically different than a typical Sunday. He was asked about it in the post-tournament news conference.

“Once you get out there … you’re out doing your job, but everything that leads up to that, you know, the place is obviously crawling in Secret Service and security and police, and it has a definitely a different feel,” Young said. “I came out to go down to the side door where we’ve been coming in the clubhouse all week and kind of had two guys step together and say, ‘Hey, we’re not letting anybody through this way right now.’ So, I was just walking in toward the locker room toward dining and had to turn around and walked all the way around the clubhouse to get back to that door. So, there’s little things like that that’s obviously different with the President here, and it changed the rhythm of the day a little bit to start, but it was already so thrown off by the delays that, you know, it didn’t matter too much.”

He also spoke to President Trump after the round, thanking him for hosting the tournament.

“He was just very complimentary, the way that he – you know, I’ve been fortunate to meet him before, and that’s especially with us golfers, it’s something he loves and I think appreciates how good everybody is on the PGA Tour,” he said. “So really just hugely complementary, and I, of course, thanked him for hosting us and that was about it.”

Asked about the brief meeting with Trump, Young said he was “grateful” that they hosted the tournament there and that it was an “honor” to play with the president watching.

“It’s very unique,” Young added. “He’s nothing if not a very, very interesting man. He’s very powerful, and it’s an honor to get to play in front of him. Hugely grateful to him and his family and his organization that has these beautiful properties and allows us to come and play great golf tournaments on them. This is a special place and great championship golf course, I’m thankful to have it back in the schedule.”

It’s always refreshing in this day and age to hear an athlete speak about meeting with the president with reverence and appreciation, instead of taking the opportunity to make some kind of political point. Particularly when that president has an appreciation for their sport, like Trump clearly does with golf.

Young will look to win his first major at the PGA Championship at Aronimik starting May 14.

Anti-Israel agitators clash with NYPD officers near synagogue

Anti-Israel agitators clashed with law enforcement outside a Manhattan synagogue on Tuesday night as pro-Israel demonstrators waved Israeli and American flags nearby.

Footage from the protest shows New York City police officers shoving the anti-Israel group back to create a street-wide separation between the two groups. The group waving Palestinian flags and wearing keffiyehs numbered roughly 100 and could be heard repeatedly shouting, “Israel should not exist.”

The anti-Israel group, gathered less than a block from the Park East Synagogue, chanted, “Palestine will never die,” and, “Stop the sale of stolen land.”

The organizer of the protest was the anti-Israel group Pal-Awda NY/NJ, which previously organized a similar demonstration outside the same synagogue in November, according to the New York Post.

JEWISH SAFETY IN NEW YORK DEPENDS ON CLEAR LINES AND MORAL COURAGE FROM MAMDANI

It was in response to that protest that the New York City Council passed legislation allowing the NYPD to place barriers around synagogues to protect congregants from protesters. Police at Tuesday night’s clash were seen enforcing that barrier.

The council passed the legislation with a veto-proof 44-5 majority, but NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani refused to sign the legislation, instead dragging it out until an April 25 deadline when it automatically became law, the Post reported.

The Anti-Defamation League released an annual report on Wednesday morning that found 2025 “marked one of the most violent periods for American Jews.”

ANTISEMITIC INCIDENTS BREAK RECORD FOR 4TH STRAIGHT YEAR, ADL FINDS

Assaults against Jews rose to 203 from 196 compared to the year before, and assaults with deadly weapons rose from 23 to 32.

The group did find that non-violent antisemitic incidents, including incidents of harassment and vandalism, were down 39% and 21% since 2024 respectively.

“Our 2025 Audit, which shows it was one of the most violent years for American Jews on record is a reminder of how dramatically the threat landscape has shifted. Numbers that would have shocked us five years ago are now our floor,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.

The ADL audit includes both criminal and non-criminal acts of harassment, vandalism and assault against individuals and groups as reported to ADL by victims, law enforcement, the media and partner organizations, and evaluated by ADL’s experts, the group says.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt suffered a gruesome finger injury during the team’s Game 1 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night.

Vanderbilt went up to block Thunder star Chet Holmgren’s dunk, but missed. Instead, his pinkie got caught on the backboard as he came down. Vanderbilt was in a ton of pain, and even the Thunder bench winced at Vanderbilt’s hand.

“I mean, it just — it looked pretty gruesome in my opinion,” Thunder guard Jared McCain said after Oklahoma City finished off the 108-90 victory. “I don’t even know, to be honest, what I was looking at. It looked pretty bad, though. So prayers for him. Sending him love.”

Vanderbilt, who averaged 4.4 points per game during the regular season, only played six minutes in Game 1. He had two points and a rebound.

Lakers coach JJ Redick spoke about Vanderbilt’s mishap after the game, calling it a “freak injury.”

“I went to go check on him because it just looked bad,” Redick said. “He was audibly screaming. Knew he had done something. We’re obviously disappointed. But, that happened, and it’s just a freak injury.”

Los Angeles has been hit with the injury bug over the last month. The team lost Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic for the last few games of the regular season. Reaves returned to the floor for Game 5 against the Houston Rockets.

Against the Thunder, he only scored eight points in 36 minutes.

Doncic is still nursing a hamstring injury, which cost him the final five regular-season games and now Game 1 against Oklahoma City.

Game 2 is set for Thursday night.

Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair didn’t mince words when it came to Luka Doncic’s absence from the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.

The Lakers fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game of their second-round series, 108-90. Doncic missed the first round of the playoffs with a hamstring injury. Los Angeles has seen Austin Reaves return to the lineup in the last series. He played 36 minutes against the Thunder, but only scored eight points.

Flair wrote on X that Doncic needed to get back in the game and that he hoped the Lakers decide to trade him.

“Luka, Please Get In The Game! Take A Shot Of Cortisone And Deal With The Pain! They Are Paying You 50 Million A Year, And You’re Not There! WTF! I Hope @JeanieBuss Trades You Next Year. Nobody Wants A Lame Duck On Their Team!” Flair wrote in his rant.

Flair made clear in an interview with Fox News Digital in 2023 that he keeps an eye on all sports – not just what’s going on in pro wrestling.

Particularly, he found players resting due to “load management” loathsome.

“These basketball players that whine and b—h, it’s taken a lot of the sport away from me,” he said at the time.

Flair contrasted wrestling through his own injuries to NBA players sitting out through injuries he felt they should be able to play through.

“They go to work hurt,” Flair said about pro wrestlers at the time. “That’s what p—-s me off today about these basketball players that stub their toe. No s—. How do you think I feel about that knowing I wrestled six months after I broke my back in a f—ing airplane crash? ‘I got a torn thumbnail. Whoa, whoa, whoa.’”

In any event, Doncic’s hamstring injury cost him the last five games of the regular season and each of the Lakers’ playoff games.
