– Hudson Swafford recovered from a back-nine meltdown to roll in a nervy 10-foot par putt at the last and secure a one-shot victory over Tyler McCumber at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship in the Dominican Republic on Sunday. What looked like it would be a runaway victory, as Swafford pulled four clear of the pack with six to play, turned into a nailbiter that came down to the last putt with the 33-year-old American carding a final-round three-under 69 for a winning total of 18-under 270 to claim his second career win, reports Reuters. “Last two years have been tough,” said Swafford, who has struggled with a foot injury. “Life’s great and golf was really hard, and to do this, it’s fun. This is why I get up and grind.” McCumber put the pressure on with an error-free final round of six-under 66 highlighted by a birdie at 18 while Canadian Mackenzie Hughes had a two-under 70 to finish one further adrift in third.
