Cognizant Classic 2026 Tee Times: Round Three

Austin Smotherman hits an approach shot into the green.

Austin Smotherman finds himself leading the Cognizant Classic at the halfway stage, with the Korn Ferry Tour graduate three shots clear through 36 holes.

Sitting 11-under, the American leads Taylor Moore at eight-under, while a congested leaderboard proceeds the duo at PGA National.

A three-time winner on the Korn Ferry Tour, Smotherman is yet to break out on the PGA Tour circuit, but has a great chance to win going into the weekend in Florida.

In pursuit of the 31-year-old are the likes of Major winner, Shane Lowry, who is five-under. Aaron Rai is also on that number, while former Ryder Cupper, Daniel Berger, is four-under.

Check out the full round three tee times for the Cognizant Classic below...
