Can Mr. 59 pull it off?
Jake Knapp raced out of the gates Thursday, shooting the 15th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history at the 2025 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. It has been anything but easy going since, but he has a one-shot lead with 18 holes to play.
Among the chasers are Michael Kim at 15 under while Russell Henley, Ben Griffin and Doug Ghim are two shots back.
Follow along here for live updates of the highlights and best moments from the final round of the Cognizant Classic.
Jordan Spieth is two back
Spieth is feeling it. Four birdies in five holes, and he’s two shots back. Could the 13-time winner post a number?
Russell Henley ties lead
Russell Henley is in the mix, getting only the third birdie of the day on the par-3 seventh and tying Knapp at 17 under.
Jacob Bridgeman making push for lead
Sitting at 6 under thru 16 and one shot behind Knapp, Jacob Bridgeman is trying to post a number. He likely needs a pair of birdies or better to finish, but his strong finish will help stuff his pocket more.
Jake Knapp gets his first birdie
In an attempt to go wire-to-wire, Knapp birdies the par-5 third after reaching the green in two shots. He two putts from the front side of the green, and he reaches 17 under and retakes the solo lead by one over Michael Kim.
Doug Ghim ties lead
With two birdies in his first three holes, Doug Ghim has tied Jake Knapp at 16 under on top of the leaderboard. There are 17 players within three shots of the lead.
Amateur’s nightmare
On the par-4 second hole, Jake Knapp teed it up about as close as you can to a tee marker. Don’t recommend trying this at home.
Leaders underway at PGA National
No harm, no foul for the leaders to kick off the final round. Jake Knapp and Michael Kim both made comfy pars and are underway in the final round.
Bear Trap bites van Rooyen
After four consecutive birdies on Nos. 12-15, the final two holes of the Bear Trap got EVR. He makes consecutive bogeys and drops two back of the leaders before they tee off, which means even with an eagle, it’s likely a number he posts won’t matter. Luke Clanton, however, is one back with eight holes to play.
Erik van Rooyen ties lead
The South African has a chance to post a number. He’s 8 under for his round and has birdied four straight holes on the back nine. Van Rooyen is 8 under thru 15 on Sunday and has tied Knapp at 16 under.
Luke Clanton moves into top 5
Luke Clanton is making early moves. He is 4 under thru 8 holes Sunday, and he’s T-3 and two shots back of the leaders. With his PGA Tour card in the bag, could he pull off a come-from-behind victory?
