2022 American Express grades: Hudson Swafford wins event for second time with wild back nine
CBSN
The former Georgia Bulldog shot the round of the day on Sunday at the PGA West Stadium Course
There's no official name for it, but the unofficial name for what Hudson Swafford put together on the back nine at the 2022 American Express on Sunday is, affectionately, a psycho scorecard.
Swafford shot 64 over the final 18 holes to finish at 23 under for the week, beating Tom Hoge by two and three other golfers by three to grab his third career PGA Tour win. That 64 – which was the co-round of the day by two strokes – included exactly one par over the final nine holes. Amazingly, it was the par that perhaps meant the most, but we'll get to that in a bit.
Here's the official count on his back nine at the PGA West Stadium Course: birdie-birdie-birdie-bogey-birdie-bogey-eagle-birdie-par. It was exhausting to watch; imagine how much more so to experience.
