Hadwin found success the moment he stepped up for the first hole. He remained at par through the first four holes, which included a birdie on the second. While he would bogey the fifth hole, Hadwin was consistent throughout the round by shooting at least par on the next nine holes.
He stayed at the back-end of the leaderboard’s top-10 — five strokes behind first place — and even though eventual winner Hideki Matsuyama ran away with the lead, Hadwin used the last nine holes to solidify a top-5 finish.
