Lowry has struggled when the pressure ratchets up across the final 18 holes, but persistence is his only option

Lowry held a three-shot lead with three to play at the Cognizant Classic and dunked consecutive tee shots into the water, handing Nico Echavarria his third tour title.

Echavarria shot a bogey free closing round 66 for a total of 17-under-par 267, his birdie on the Par 3 17 th proving critical as Lowry’s travails behind were unfolding.
