PGA Tour: Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches...Tee Times Leaderboard
Canadian rookie AJ Ewart played his college golf at nearby Barry University at Miami Shores, 90 minutes away from Palm Beaches, and remembers watching Brooks Koepka play PGA National as a fan.

He took a spot in the spotlight with the round of the day -7 64 is T3 as he looks for his maiden win on the PGA Tour. "Coming into the week I had never played the course, but felt like I knew it just from watching, so somewhat of a home game, feels good !"
Fellow Canadian Ben Silverman who lives 15 minutes away in Jupiter is playing his home course 73 67 -2 to make the cut. What is remarkable is he was the 15th alternative, and didn't know until Will Zalatoris WD on Thursday morning that he was in.
" My focus was I'm taking a week off at home, so if I get in great. After being 15th alternative I knew on Wednesday the 3 guys in front of me were committed to playing in Argentina, then Zalatoris couldn't make it, so here I am, playing with Brooks Koepka."
Mac Hughes shot 75 on Thursday, but rebounded with 65 on Friday moving up 81 places to T27 -2.
The leader remains Austin Smotherman 69 -11 total, three shots clear of Taylor Moore -8 then Ewart and Nico Echavarria are T3 -7.
