Something really Embarrassing happened to Jake Knapp At The Golf Course in Recent Game
Overnight Jake Knapp fell apart after recording this triple bogey in the final round of the Cognizant Classic.
“I knew I had it going really early, but that can happen and then it can fizzle out pretty quickly,” the American said.
“I thought I did a good job of just trying to focus on shot by shot and not letting what happened or what could happen affect anything.
“Once I made the long putt on 15, it was like, ‘OK, now this is kind of here’. But at the same time, I didn’t let it affect the gameplan or anything like that.”
Knapp’s sub-60 round is the fifth in PGA Tour history to have been made in the first round of an event and two of the previous four players to achieve that feat went on to win the tournament.
He got to 45th in the world during his rookie campaign in 2024, when he won his maiden PGA Tour title at the Mexico Open and finished in a tie for fourth at the Cognizant Classic.
Daniel Berger, Russell Henley and Sami Valimaki are four strokes behind Knapp in a three-way tie for second.
Rickie Fowler is among a group of six on seven under with Jordan Spieth one shot further back in a five-way tie for 11th.
