Corales Championship: Swafford at the end of the suspense – Golf – PGA Tour

American Hudson Swafford won his second PGA Tour title by winning the Corales Championship. This Sunday, in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), the former 345th in the world seemed set for an unhindered success (-5 after 8 holes) before the last six tight holes … Swafford had four strokes in advance at the start of the 13, but a double bogey on this par 4 and then a bogey on 15 revived Tyler McCumber and Mackenzie Hughes, his closest pursuers. It was thanks to a final birdie at 17 (par 3) and a final card of 69 that the 33-year-old American narrowly scored a second career success. With a total of -18, Swafford was suddenly ahead of Tyler McCumber.

« It’s amazing, I can’t describe it in words […] The last two years have been difficult ”said Swafford, crippled by injuries since his first La Quinta title in 2017.
