Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament and enters this week’s US Open at Pinehurst as the first player since Tom Watson in 1980 to have five wins on the PGA Tour before America’s national championship.
Hadwin, though pumped for his friend’s second win in eight months, resisted the urge to bound onto the green this time around, hilariously telling nearby cameras that he’d learned his lesson.
That’s a nice, quick job by the USGA. Although we’re pretty sure Hadwin won’t wear the construction vest and hard hat – in part because someone at LACC would probably have him removed from the grounds.
Apparently, security had no idea that Hadwin was a fellow tour pro, a fellow Canuck and a friend to Taylor, with one guard mistaking him for a law-breaking fan and FLATTENING him Terry Tate linebacker style.
After failing to make it to the weekend at last week’s Wells Fargo Championship, though, it looks like Adam Hadwin really put himself through the ringer.
Im has no doubt the camaraderie and bond that have been built and strengthened over the past few years will serve the team’s quest to finally upstage the Americans again.
