From a few dominant performances to the return of the ultimate fashion statement, The Grind has the entire week in golf covered.

Welcome back to The Grind, your weekly dose of all things golf—from record-breaking performances to the gear that makes it all happen. This week, we're diving into Cameron Young's silver streak, Rory McIlroy's Hollywood moment, and a legendary Anthony Kim relic that's back in the spotlight.

Let's start with the "Blue Monster" at Doral—or should we call it the "Red Monster" now? Cameron Young was on fire, nearly reaching 20 under par until he called a penalty on himself for a ball movement. In a world where athletes sometimes try to fool the refs (looking at you, NBA floppers), Young's honesty was a breath of fresh air. Bobby Jones once said, "You may as well praise someone for not robbing a bank," but when millions are on the line, that integrity is worth celebrating. And here's the kicker: after the penalty, Young still got up and down from 155 yards to save par. Either the golf gods were smiling, or he's just that good.

Speaking of good, Young's latest masterpiece came with a silver sidekick: his Scotty Cameron Phantom prototype putter. That "silver monster" helped him gain over seven strokes on the field and sink a staggering 378 feet of putts en route to a six-shot victory at the Cadillac Championship. And it's not just the putter—Young switched to a Titleist Pro V1 "Double Dot" before last year's Wyndham Championship, and he's won all three of his titles since. He dialed in that ball at Titleist's Performance Center in Massachusetts, the same place we go for fittings. So if you're looking to channel your inner Cam Young, maybe it's time to check your own gear.

Meanwhile, Nelly Korda is having a season for the ages. Fresh off her third major win, she added the Riviera Maya Open to her resume—her 18th LPGA title. But here's the stat that'll blow your mind: she's only lost to three people all year. That's dominance on a whole other level.

And for the fashion-forward golfers out there, a piece of history has resurfaced. Anthony Kim's iconic gear is making waves again, reminding us that style never goes out of style. Whether you're chasing low scores or just looking the part, this week's action proves that the right equipment and a little flair can go a long way.
