Jake Knapp heads into the final round of the Cognizant Classic with a slim one-shot lead after posting a 3-under-par 68 on Saturday at PGA National. Despite a challenging round where he initially trailed by three shots, Knapp made crucial late birdies, including a 12-foot putt on the 16th and a chip-in on the 18th. Michael Kim remains a close contender, showcasing consistency throughout the tournament. The par-3 15th hole proved to be a significant challenge for many players, including Taylor Montgomery and Jesper Svensson, who both suffered setbacks there. With an opening score of 59, Knapp seeks to become the first player to win wire-to-wire at this course. The highly competitive leaderboard features numerous players within striking distance, making the final round an exciting prospect.
