Nico Echavarria (-17) delivered a brilliant final-round 65 to claim victory at the Cognizant Classic, pulling clear of the field with a composed performance under pressure. His closing surge capped off a consistent week and secured him the title on the Champion Course.

Taylor Moore (-15), Shane Lowry (-15), and Austin Smotherman (-15) finished tied for second, each producing steady final rounds but unable to match Echavarria’s decisive push. Roger Castillo (-13) followed in fifth, while Keith Mitchell, Nicolai Højgaard, and William Mouw all finished at -11 to share sixth place.

The chasing pack included Joel Dahmen, Matti Schmid, Brooks Koepka, and Rasmus Højgaard, all tied at -10. Despite strong finishes, particularly Koepka’s closing -6, the gap proved too much to overcome. Echavarria’s victory highlighted his composure and precision, marking a standout moment in his career and adding his name to the list of champions at one of the PGA Tour’s biggest events.
