Finishing at 17-under par, the Irishman displayed veteran composure as his rivals faltered around him. While the lead changed hands multiple times on the front nine, Lowry’s back-to-back birdies on the 10th and 11th holes gave him a cushion he would never relinquish.

He safely parred his way through the Bear Trap, a contrast to his previous heartbreaks at this venue, to secure his first PGA Tour victory since 2022. The battle for second was a chaotic affair as the afternoon winds picked up.

Austin Smotherman fought bravely but a costly bogey on the par-3 15th after finding the water ended his hopes of a maiden win; he finished in a tie for third at 14-under. Nico Echavarria surged late to claim solo second at 15-under, while Taylor Moore and Jimmy Stanger rounded out the top five.

Local favorite Brooks Koepka delighted the Palm Beach crowds with a final-round 66 to climb into the top 15, but the day belonged to Lowry, who becomes the first European winner of the event since Sepp Straka.
