The Cognizant Classic 2024: Highlights

Austin Eckroat played his final round of The Cognizant Classic 2024 with five bogeys and one birdie to maintain and extend the lead he had held since day three. His final score was 17 under and he was three strokes ahead of the runners-up.

Erik van Rooyen and Min Woo Lee tied for second place at 14 under. The South African threatened the course record (61) with a front nine of 28 strokes (seven birdies, no bogeys) but the rain stopped his streak when he had 8 birdies through the 10th.

Min Woo Lee, on the other hand, managed to recover from a double bogey at the 5th to finish the round with a score of 4 under, thanks to an eagle and three birdies.
