PGA Tour - Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches
Nico Echavarria secured his third PGA TOUR victory in dramatic fashion at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, capitalising on a late collapse by Shane Lowry at PGA National. The 31-year-old Colombian produced a flawless weekend of golf, finishing with a five-under-par 66 on Sunday to reach a winning total of 17-under 267. While Echavarria remained steady, Lowry’s hopes were dashed in the infamous "Bear Trap" stretch; holding a three-shot lead with just three holes remaining, the Irishman suffered back-to-back double bogeys on the 16th and 17th after finding the water on both occasions. Echavarria’s two-stroke triumph over Lowry, Austin Smotherman, and Taylor Moore has earned him a prestigious invitation to the Masters and a career-best winner’s cheque of $1.728 million, marking his first professional win on American soil.
