The PGA TOUR heads back to Florida’s PGA National Resort for the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Austin Eckroat returns to defend his title after finishing last year at 17-under, and is looking to become the first player to go back-to-back at this event since Jack Nicklaus in 1977-78. The Cognizant Classic is also the final chance for players to earn their way into the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard via the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5. Jordan Speith is making his debut at PGA National, as he continues his comeback from wrist surgery. Other notable names include Russell Henley, who won the event in 2014, World number 18 Shane Lowry, Sepp Straka, ad Rickie Fowler.

class act Horschel
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️☝️
That's how it's done
Minus one stroke.
Not that big of a deal😅
Let the Florida native handle that pesky reptile LOL
How does a guy shoot 59 then is even through 8
Non Floridian (southern US really) … are often amused at how skiddish people are with gators. They don’t want anything to do with people – just like Billy stated.
Don't mess with a Hammer ⚒️⚒️
Billy "Da Man" Horschel 🙂
Perfect use for a lob wedge
Barely even a gator
