Georgia Bulldogs: Luke List
All it took was for Hudson Swafford to shoot a course-record 9-under 62 -- capped by a chip-in for birdie out of the sand on the 18th hole -- to finish at 17 under and win by one stroke over Luke List and two-time U.S. Open winner Lee Janzen in Sunday's final round.
"I heard it hit the pin and then I heard everybody just go nuts so I just had a feeling when I went up there and saw it disappeared," Swafford said. "I don’t know, I just kind of blacked out to be honest with you. I didn’t expect it, but I was pretty fired up when it was in the hole."
The former Bulldog entered the day in a tie for 15th place at 8 under, five strokes behind leader Tyrone Van Aswegen. He fell even further behind with a bogey on the first hole Sunday, but that turned out to be his one and only bogey of the day.
