Jake Knapp, Costa Mesa native, said last week’s maiden PGA Tour win still is sinking in as he prepared to tee off at the Cognizant Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

“Doing my best to focus on this week,” he told reporters Wednesday at the PGA National Resort & Spa. “Last week was pretty amazing to say the least. Played really solid the first three days and the last day obviously wasn’t pretty but was happy I was able to get it done.”
