Jake Knapp, fresh off his maiden PGA Tour win in Mexico a five days ago, has primo tee times for the first two rounds of the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches.

His playing partners for the first two days? World No. 1 and 2012 Cognizant Classic winner Rory McIlroy and defending Cognizant Classic champion Chris Kirk.

Knapp opened with a 3-under 68 to start his week at PGA National. That puts him tied for 30th but he’s also only four shots off the lead held by Chad Ramey and S.H. Kim.

Meanwhile, prior to starting play this week, McIlroy acknowledged that he’s on the back nine in his career.

“Yeah, I would say I’m pretty close to the turn at this point, if not a little bit after. Maybe on the 10th green or 11th tee.”

McIlroy then went out and did Knapp one better, posting a 4-under 67. McIlroy is gunning to break Mark Calcavecchia’s record of most time between wins in the event. Calc went 11 years (1987 and 1998) between his two wins there.

PGA National’s The Champion course is a par-71 layout measuring 7,147 yards. The Champion ranks No. 7 in Florida on Golfweek’s Best list of public-access courses in each state, and it ties for No. 69 on the list of top resort courses in the U.S.

The purse at the Cognizant Classic is $9 million with $1.62 million going to the winner. The winner will also receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
