Jake Knapp takes one-shot lead into final round at Cognizant

Jake Knapp

Jake Knapp birdied the final hole to shoot 3-under-par 68 and hold a one-shot lead through the third round of the Cognizant Classic on Saturday at PGA National Resort’s Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Knapp, who opened the tournament with a 59, is at 16 under for the tournament.

He’s aiming for his second PGA Tour victory. He’s up one shot on Michael Kim, who also birdied the final hole for 67.

Kim rolled in a birdie putt of slightly more than 3 feet to close the round.

Knapp had a birdie and two bogeys across the first seven holes. He played the backside at 4 under, capped by a short final putt.

Russell Henley and Ben Griffin had matching 66s and Doug Ghim notched 68 as the trio is tied for third place at 14 under.

Rickie Fowler (68) and Taylor Montgomery (68) share sixth place at 13 under.

Montgomery held a one-shot lead when he finished the 14th hole. His tee shot on No. 15 ended up in the water and he was three strokes off the lead when he completed the hole with a quadruple-bogey 7.

Montgomery had six birdies on the front side, including four straight (Nos. 6-9).

The leaderboard is a rarity with only two non-U.S. golfers among the top 13. Austria’s Sepp Straka (67) and France’s Matthieu Pavon are in a six-way tie for eighth place.
