Hudson Swafford’s caddie was stung by a bee on his forearm during Thursday’s first round of the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. Swafford finished the day tied for the lead.
Swafford was stung by a bee on his hand during Friday’s second round. Swafford finished the day in the lead alone.
“I guess he just said it’s kind of a good omen,” Swafford said of his caddie.
Neither was stung during the third round. Swafford slipped to second.
You better believe – bee-lieve? – he’s looking for a whole hive before Sunday’s final round.
