Ireland's Shane Lowry figured it would be important to be within range of the leaders after the third round of the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. Lowry and Smotherman take 13-under 200 scores into Sunday's final round at PGA National's Champion Course. Echavarria's bogey-free round put him in position to contend for his third title on the PGA Tour. Stanger, who didn't enter any PGA Tour events in 2025 following elbow surgery, made a tournament cut for the first time since 2024. Castillo, also seeking his first PGA Tour victory, said he has sensed support during the tournament because he played collegiately for Florida.
