2024 Cognizant Classic scores: Shane Lowry among three tied for lead after Round 3 at PGA National
CBSN
Lowry will attempt to break a winless drought in the United States that extends back to 2015
For the third year in a row at PGA National, Shane Lowry will play in one of the final two groups on Sunday. The Irishman was near flawless Saturday around the par 71 course en route to carding a 5-under 66. Lowry stands at 13 under for the tournament and in a share of the lead with David Skinns and Austin Eckroat.
While Lowry's résumé is filled with victories at major championships, World Golf Championships and the DP World Tour's flagship event, it is actually Eckroat who has been contending for trophies more recently. The former Oklahoma State Cowboy has been making a habit of being a weekend fixture the past year and should put this experience to good use Sunday as he searches for his first career victory on the PGA Tour.
A leader at the halfway point at the 2024 Sony Open and one of the 54-hole leaders at the 2023 Byron Nelson last summer, Eckroat is maturing in front of our very eyes. The PGA Tour sophomore should be comfortable in this setting, as should Lowry, while Skinns' composure remains a bit of an unknown.
