Notable groupings for Sanderson Farms Championship Round 1
Hudson Swafford is fresh off his second PGA Tour victory at last week’s Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship. This week, he’ll try for rare back-to-back titles when he tees it up in Mississippi. Swafford will get his tournament started at 9:11 a.m. ET on Thursday, playing alongside major champions Zach Johnson and Stewart Cink, who won the 2020 Safeway Open a few weeks ago.
Defending champion Sebastián Muñoz is back to repeat this 2019 Sanderson Farms title. He starts Thursday’s round on the 1st tee at 1:55 p.m. ET, and will play the first two rounds with Corey Conners and Ryan Armour.
If it wasn’t for Muñoz’s birdie on the 72nd hole, Sungjae Im would have took home the trophy last year at CC of Jackosn. He will begin his campaign to avenge that loss at 9:00 a.m. ET Thursday alongside Keegan Bradley and Scottie Scheffler.
