Impact Echavarria found himself near the top of the leaderboard after firing a bogey-free, eight-under 63 in the first round. He lost momentum after a one-over 72 score in the second before placing himself in position for a late surge after a five-under 66 on Saturday. Echavarria was steady on Championship Sunday with a three-under front nine, and his daring tee shot on the par-3 17th paid off with a birdie, which gave him even more of a cushion after Lowry found the water on the 16th and 17th holes to card double bogeys on each. It was a much-needed victory for Echavarria, who missed the cut in four of five PGA Tour events heading into the Cognizant. His win not only moved him up to sixth in the FedExCup Standings, but it also earned him a spot in The Masters in April. The 31-year-old Colombian is in the field for next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational in what will be his first appearance at the signature event.
