Jake Knapp, the recent winner of his first PGA Tour event in Mexico just five days ago, has secured excellent tee times for the first two rounds of the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches.
Key Players in the Tournament
Joining Knapp for the initial two days are none other than World No. 1 Rory McIlroy, who clinched the Cognizant Classic title back in 2012, and defending champion Chris Kirk.
Knapp kicked off his week at PGA National with an impressive 3-under 68, placing him tied for 30th but only four strokes behind the leaders, Chad Ramey and S.H. Kim.
McIlroy’s Remarkable Performance
Prior to commencing his play this week, McIlroy hinted at his advancing career phase, stating, “I’m pretty close to the turn at this point, if not a little beyond. Maybe on the 10th green or 11th tee.”
Subsequently, McIlroy outshone Knapp by carding a 4-under 67. He is aiming to surpass Mark Calcavecchia’s record for the longest gap between victories in the tournament, which stands at 11 years (1987 and 1998).
