Hudson Swafford won the CareerBuilder Challenge at PGA West in La Quinta, California with a final score of -20. It was the 29-year-old’s first win on the PGA Tour.
Swafford started the tournament ranked 69th in the FedEx Cup standings, and 204th in the world. This morning, Swafford sits at #6 in the FedEx Cup race, and No. 89 in the world rankings. Only once has Swafford even cracked the Top 200 (# 193 after last year’s Deutsche) – so this is rarefied air for the former Georgia Bulldog.
The Florida native also took home a check worth nearly $1,044,000 for his performance. Here’s a look at the final standings from La Quinta, along with money earned.
