Joe Highsmith emerged victorious at the Cognizant Classic, showcasing a remarkable performance over the weekend at PGA National. Highsmith, who had made a crucial par putt to make the cut, went on to secure his first PGA Tour title with a stellar 6-under 64 on the final day, setting a new record for the lowest weekend score at the venue.
The 24-year-old lefty displayed nerves of steel as he rallied from a four-shot deficit, stringing together three consecutive birdies and sinking a crucial 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th hole to seal his victory by a two-shot margin.
