MacKenzie Hughes cracks the world top 50 with 3rd at Puntacana

Puntacana Resort and Golf Club Championship final leaderboard  here.

It was another great week at the Puntacana Resort and Golf Club for MacKenzie Hughes with rounds of 68 68 67 70 -16 good for 3rd, just a couple of shots behind Hudson Swafford who held off Hughes and Tyler McCumber with a final round 69 -18 total for his first win in 2 years.

The three were tied for the lead on -17 after a bogey by Swafford at the 15th, but a great kick in birdie at the 17th edged him ahead, leaving MacKenzie needing a birdie at the last to force a playoff, however after a wayward drive, the best he could manage was a bogey.

He made 21 birdies all week to just 7 bogey's and all the rest pars, and ended up T7 in putting. He finished 2nd here last year. 

He has now moved up to 48th in the World golf rankings, finally cracking the coveted top 50 which gains him entry to all the majors and WGC.  CURRENT RANKING

David Hearn was T33 67 74 69 71 -7.
