Shane Lowry and Austin Smotherman Tied for the Cognizant Classic Lead at 13 Under

  • After Friday's second round, Shane Lowry is tied for sixth at five under and S�amus Power is tied for 13th at four under, while Austin Smotherman leads at 11 under with a three-stroke advantage.
  • With tee times moved up because of anticipated bad weather, Saturday served as Moving Day, shifting positions and setting the field for the final rounds on Sunday.
  • Lowry built his round with birdies on Nos. 2, 3, 9, 10 and 13, then bogeyed 14 and 17, and birdied the final hole to finish four-under on Friday.
  • Lowry's history at PGA National shows his string of near-misses with 11th, fourth, fifth, and second-place finishes framing his weekend bid, while Jimmy Stanger will earn a tour check for the first time since April 2024 after shooting a 65 Saturday.
  • If conditions are like this tomorrow, low scores could appear and someone could come from the pack as Saturday produced notable movers entering the final rounds.
