PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — If form holds, Jake Knapp will probably shoot something around a 69 on Friday at PGA National in the second round of the Cognizant Classic. That's the average score — well, 68.64, to be exact — for those coming back to work on the PGA Tour a day after joining golf's under-60 club. Knapp set a course record at a defenseless PGA National on Thursday with a 12-under round of 59, the 15th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history.
