Joe Highsmith Wins Cognizant Classic with Historic Comeback

Highsmith becomes the first PGA Tour player in nine years to win after making the cut on the number, securing his first career victory.

Joe Highsmith shot back-to-back 64s over the weekend to claim his first PGA Tour title at the Cognizant Classic, finishing at 19-under par.
Highsmith's victory marks the first time since 2016 that a player has won a PGA Tour event after making the cut on the number.
Jake Knapp, who opened the tournament with a rare 59, struggled in the final round, including a costly triple bogey on the 11th hole, finishing tied for sixth.
The win secures Highsmith invitations to the Masters, the PGA Championship, and the remaining five PGA Tour Signature Events this season.
Highsmith's mental focus and adjustments, including a new putter, played a key role in his historic performance at PGA National.
