Tour Mash: A CareerBuilder for Swafford, Fleetwood wins HSBC
A full slate of tour events from the entire globe brought another 59, an ageless winner, a wind-shortened event and some of the best hair on tour to the fore. To find out more, press on and rest your eyes on this week’s Tour Mash.
PGA Tour: Hudson Swafford’s CareerBuilder

Adam Hadwin had the nearly-impossible task of following up a 59 with enough birdies to win. And he nearly did it. The Canadian stalwart recovered from a slow start with three back-nine birdies to finish at 19-under par on the week. Unfortunately for Hadwin, Hudson Swafford played better.
Swafford held the lead this week through 36 holes before Hadwin’s transcendent sub-60 score on Saturday. For most of Sunday, Swafford hung around. They say that if you hang around long enough, good things happen. For the University of Georgia alumnus, those good things came at the end in a carnival three-pack. After dropping an 11-foot putt for birdie on the 15th hole, Swafford had tap-ins for birdie on Nos. 16 and 17. He parred the 18th to claim his first PGA Tour title.

Brian Harman and Bud Cauley, the latter back from injury, tied for third at 18-under. Dominic Bozzelli, a Web.com Tour graduate, birdied his last two holes to vault into the top-five, claiming 5th spot alone at 17-under.

Tommy Fleetwood had balanced a bogey with a birdie on the front nine on Sunday in Abu Dhabi. At that juncture, his thoughts turned to a nice finish and the next tournament. On the inward half, the English professional with one previous European Tour win stitched three birdies to one eagle for 31 and a 67 on the day. Having complicated matters, he waited to see if any among the finishers could match or exceed his total.
If it had come to birdies alone, Pablo Larrazabal would have buzzed his way to the title. The Spaniard notched eight of them on Sunday. The problematic part were the four bogeys that compelled him to finish in a tie for second, one back of the magnificently-coiffed Fleetwood.
Alongside Larrazabal was 2016 U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson. DJ made a tremendous run, playing the final three holes in 3-under. A 15th-hole bogey was his undoing, relegating him to co-runner up status.
PGA Tour Champions: Shortened Mitsubishi Electric Championship goes to a familiar face
Bernhard Langer did not expect to awaken on Saturday as Mitsubishi Electric champion. After all, he had one more round to play. Overruling the German professional were the winds of Mother Nature. Not only were they deemed too powerful for a fair game of golf on Saturday, but they would persist through Sunday evening. As a result, Langer earned his 30th PGA Tour Champions title on the strength of his play through 36 holes on Thursday and Friday.
A look back at Round 2 scorecards showed that the 18th hole played a principal role in Langer’s win. While the 2016 Schwab Cup champion made birdie to reach 14-under, Fred Couples made bogey to drop to 13-under. The two-stroke swing unknowingly resolved matters at this year’s event. Two back of Langer, in third place alone, was Kirk Triplett.
Asian Tour: Ageless Marksaeng wins Singapore Open
Fifties are making news all across the golfing world. Prayad Marksaeng, all 51 years of him, shot 67 on an elongated Sunday to claim the Singapore Open. Marksaeng improved each day (71-69-68-67) and closed with five birdies on Sunday to finish on top.
With a name like Adam Scott in the lead after Saturday, Marksaeng might have been gunning for a top-10 finish. When the Australian champion struggled during his second round of the day (caused by a Saturday weather delay), the doors opened wide for an upset.
Finishing more than two hours ahead of the final group, Marksaeng was nearly caught by a quartet of golfers. Defending champion Younghan Song, South Africa’s Jbe Kruger, Pachara Khongwatmai and Juvic Pagunsan all finished at 8-under, one behind the victor.
With the win, Marksaeng gains entry in to the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
