Jordan Spieth had a solid performance at the Cognizant Classic, but it was not enough to qualify for the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Jordan Spieth wanted to secure a place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational by winning the Cognizant Classic. However, despite a good game, the US golfer failed to achieve his goal. Joe Highsmith, a 24-year-old golfer, finally won this tournament, surprising golf fans as well as players.

After news broke that both Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler were informed they would not be receiving sponsor exemptions into the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, they both put themselves in position to earn spots on merit at the Cognizant Classic.
