The first Florida Swing event concludes on Sunday as the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches will contest its final round at PGA National.
Through the 54-hole mark, two names are tied at the top of the leaderboard: Shane Lowry and Austin Smotherman. For Lowry, a win would represent his fourth overall PGA Tour victory and first in almost two years. Smotherman, on the other hand, is looking for his first Tour win after a two-win campaign last season on the Korn Ferry Tour.
But surviving the Bear Trap and coming out on top won’t be easy. As the field prepares for the final round in south Florida, nine players sit within five shots of the 13-under par lead, including past tournament winners Nico Echavarria, Joel Dahmen, Keith Mitchell and Patton Kizzire.
Lowry and Smotherman will meet in the final pairing at 1:45 PM ET, while Echavarria and Taylor Moore will go into the penultimate pairing 10 minutes earlier – and each will have their eyes on the $1.72 million winner’s check.
