PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Nico Echavarria didn’t make a bogey all weekend. Shane Lowry was on his way to doing the same, until the very end. And that’s what decided the Cognizant Classic. Echavarria — who was three shots back with three holes left — shot a 5-under 66 on Sunday to win at PGA National, finishing at 17-under 267 and beating Lowry (69), Austin Smotherman (69) and Taylor Moore (68) by two shots. Lowry — who remains snakebit by PGA National, where he has finished in the top 11 for five straight years without a victory — was undone by double bogeys at the par-4 16th and par-3 17th, both after tee shots went way right and into the water. It was Echavarria’s third PGA Tour win and first in the United States, and this one earned a second Masters invitation for the 31-year-old from Colombia. Lowry — who has been in contention at PGA National in each of the last five years and had late leads in 2022 and 2024 — was rolling along, chipping in for birdie on the par-4 ninth to start a run where he went 5 under in a five-hole stretch. And he had a three-shot lead over Echavarria going to the par-4 16th. That’s where his nightmare began.
