Nico Echavarria posted a bogey-free weekend of 66-66 to win the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches at 17-under 267, earning $1,728,000 from the $9.6M purse. It’s the Colombian’s third PGA Tour victory — and his first on the U.S. mainland — but the story everyone will remember is Shane Lowry’s heartbreaking finish.

Lowry held a three-shot lead through 15 holes before PGA National’s infamous Bear Trap devoured him: water on 16 (double bogey), water on 17 (double bogey). In two holes, a three-shot lead became a two-shot deficit. Echavarria, one group ahead, coolly buried a 10-foot birdie on 17 while Lowry was imploding behind him.

On the LPGA Tour, Hannah Green won the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore at 14-under 274, one shot clear of Auston Kim. The Australian’s seventh LPGA title — and second HSBC crown — came with her husband Jarryd Felton serving as caddie after her regular looper was stuck in the U.S. processing a green card.

Their tearful celebration on 18 was the feel-good moment of the weekend. Green’s final round featured a stunning eagle on the par-5 8th from 229 yards with a 5-wood, though three late bogeys kept things nervy. She earned $450,000 and snapped a 497-day winless drought.

Lowry’s late collapse was the cruelest kind — entirely self-inflicted. He’d been brilliant all week, including a Saturday 63, and was cruising through Sunday with birdies, an eagle, and a commanding lead. Then two swings into the water undid four days of work.

“I had the tournament in my hands, and I threw it away,” Lowry said afterward. It marked his second late-tournament meltdown of 2026 after doubling the final hole at the Dubai Invitational in January.

Other notables: Brooks Koepka finished T9 at 10-under in his best result since returning from LIV, and defending champion Joe Highsmith finished dead last among those making the cut.

The Arnold Palmer Invitational takes over Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando this week — a Signature Event with a $20 million purse and 41 of the top 50 in the world committed. Russell Henley defends his title, but all eyes will be on Scottie Scheffler (two-time API winner), Rory McIlroy (searching for his first 2026 win), and Justin Thomas, who makes his 2026 PGA Tour debut returning from back surgery.

The Players Championship follows the week after at TPC Sawgrass — making this a massive two-week Florida stretch heading into Masters season.

Max McGreevy’s 246-yard albatross on the par-5 3rd — the first double eagle in 20 years of this tournament at PGA National — was the shot of the week.
