On the 3rd (local time), at the PGA National Resort Champions Course (par 71, 7,147 yards) in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA, Byeonghun An surged with a 6-under-par in the 4th round of the PGA Tour Cognizant Classic (total prize money $9 million), climbing to a tie for 16th place (10-under-par 274 strokes). World No. 2 Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) is also in this group.

The final round of the Cognizant Classic was postponed by one day. Due to heavy rain and other severe weather, the play was repeatedly suspended and resumed, and many players could not finish their rounds, pushing the completion to Monday local time. This tournament also saw its champion decided on a Monday in 2015 due to bad weather. Shane Lowry (Ireland) and David Skinn (USA), who were in the final group, left the course after completing 5 holes.

The race for the championship remains uncertain. Austin Eckroat (USA) reduced his score by 2 strokes over 7 holes, taking the top spot on the leaderboard at 15-under-par. Erik van Rooyen (South Africa) posted a daily best 8-under-par to move up to 2nd place (14-under-par 270 strokes). Jake Knapp (USA) is in 3rd place (13-under-par), and Lowry is tied for 4th (12-under-par).

Kyung-hoon Lee is eyeing a top 10 finish. He recorded 3 birdies and 1 bogey over 13 holes. He is tied for 16th place, waiting for the final round to resume. He is just 1 stroke behind the group tied for 8th place. If he can reduce his strokes over the remaining 5 holes, a top-tier finish is possible. Juhyung Kim is tied for 62nd (2-under-par 282 strokes), and Sunghyun Kim is tied for 67th (1-over-par 285 strokes).
