It marks the third PGA Tour win of Swafford’s career, and the second to come at the PGA West Stadium Course.“This was definitely a special one,” Swafford said. “A third win, and about a month ago my father passed away and his birthday was this week, so I know he was following and watching and to get it done, it was awesome.”

“I knew if I missed it a little bit it was going to come up just short, just where you wanted to be, and if I hit it good and hit it solid, then I was going to have a really good chance at eagle,” Swafford said. “It was one of the best seven-irons I’ve ever hit.” “It was nice to make a few putts coming in on, what was it, 12 and 17 was a nice one to make,” Hoge said. “So I’ll take some positives going forward and hopefully keep playing well next week at Torrey [Pines].”“It’s been kind of a trying year,” Harman said. “I had a really bad fall, banged my thumb up last year and didn’t play as well as I wanted to in the fall, didn’t play good and I’ve been working real hard at home and it’s been going all right.
