Hudson Swafford lights up the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational with a hole-in-one
Friday 4 August 2017 17:32, UK
Hudson Swafford made a significant move up the leaderboard with one swing as he recorded the first hole-in-one of the week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Swafford was the wrong side of par for the day, and the tournament, after four pars and a bogey in the second round at Firestone Country Club, but he suddenly got under the card with his perfect strike at the 214-yard 15th.
Taking dead aim with a six-iron, the American sent his tee-shot on the ideal line and asked for it to sit, and his ball obeyed as it pitched softly on the green a few feet short of the pin before releasing and rolling gently into the cup.

The ace took Swafford into the top 20 of a congested leaderboard, although he suffered a setback on the par-five next as he three-putted to run up a six and drop back to level par for the event.
