Who ‘won’ the PGA Tour’s West Coast swing in 2022?
By Bill Felber
8. Lanto Griffin (-2.36)
Griffin’s four West Coast stops were highlighted by his tie with Brian Harman and Lee Hodges for third place, three shots behind champion Hudson Swafford, at the Amex (-1.91).
Aside from that, his best finish was a tie for 16th at the ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am (-0.40). He tied for 30th at the Farmers (-0.30), but managed only a tie for 39th at the Genesis (+0.25).
That grossed him $621,402 on the entirety of the swing.
7. Xander Schauffele (-2.99)
As befits one of the game’s premier young stars, Schauffele’s four PGA West Coast starts included three top 15 finishes, one of them a strong contending run.
That came at the WM Phoenix Open when he tied Sahith Theegala and Brooks Koepka for third place (-1.63), one stroke out of the Scheffler-Cantlay playoff.
He came home solo 12th (-0.45) at the Sentry TOC, and tied for 13th (-0.80) this past weekend at the Genesis.
To the extent he had an off week, it came at the Farmers, when he tied for 34th (-0.11). Most guys on Tour would take that finish any time.
He earned $891,364 in official money on the West Coast.
