Joe Highsmith went from barely making the cut to his first PGA Tour win with an exemplary weekend at the Cognizant Classic to kick of the the "Florida Swing" at PGA National. Jake Knapp fired a sizzling 59 on Thursday to jump out to a lead but was not able to keep the good playing going through 72 holes as he and the rest of the field were passed by Highsmith on the weekend to grab the title. Luke Clanton made another PGA Tour cut and got his tour card through the PGA Tour University accelerated program. It has been a spectacular and unique rise for Clanton who has done it mostly by great play in PGA Tour tournaments. We even dare to raise the question about the number one amatuer in the world... Would Keegan Bradley think about making him a captains pick for the Ryder Cup this fall?
