PGA TOUR

Hudson Swafford looked as if he might run away with his second PGA Tour title when he made the turn Sunday at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. The script flipped on the 33-year-old when he made double-bogey at Corales Golf Club’s par-4 13th. That opened to the door to his chasers. A group ahead, Canadian Mackenzie Hughes made birdie on No. 14 for a two-shot swing that left him on Swafford’s heels, then, after he parred No. 15 and Swafford bogeyed, tied with him. Tyler McCumber joined that group with a birdie on 18. Ultimately, Swafford came out on top but he made it interesting – leaving his birdie putt up a steep slope at the 18th several feet short. He made the par to finish alone at 18-under. It was his first Tour title since the 2017 CareerBuilder Challenge. “Man, it's amazing. Words can't really describe it,” Swafford told Golf Channel.
