Lowry collapse paves way for Echavarria triumphMIAMI – Shane Lowry endured another agonizing collapse with a pair of late double bogeys that handed Nico Echavarria victory in the PGA Tour Cognizant Classic on Sunday.

But he was in the water off the tee at 16 and 17 on the way to double bogeys at both and Colombia’s Echavarria was rewarded for his bogey-free weekend with a third PGA Tour title. That’s twice this year now so far,” said Lowry, whose double bogey at the 72nd hole at the Dubai Invitational opened the door for Spain’s Nacho Elvira to win. Then Lowry botched the 17th the Irishman was suddenly two adrift.
