Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., led the way with a 6-under 66, while Nick Taylor, also of Abbotsford, was a shot back at 5 under
Taylor is playing in his first tournament on tour since the PGA restarted last month during the COVID-19 pandemic.Hadwin, who shot his eighth consecutive round in the 60s, is coming off a tie for fourth last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.
David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., shot a 1-under 71 on Thursday, while Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., also carded a 71.Hadwin bogeyed his first hole before reeling off seven birdies. “Even the first two weeks back, I felt like I played some pretty decent golf. I just kind of made some rusty mistakes,” Hadwin said.
“I’d hit a ball out of bounds or in the water where I shouldn’t have or maybe try to get too much out of a shot, whereas I think last week it kind of came together. I was doing a lot of the similar things, but I didn’t make any of the mistakes. I felt like there were times where last week where I probably could have gotten a few more shots, but I really didn’t have any risk. It was kind of a free-flowing easy type round and just not a lot of stress.
“Obviously the break was great timing for a lot of reasons ... Have a bit of a cushion, take some more time off, I just really enjoyed being home, so just waiting an extra few weeks, was great to be home,” Taylor said. “Yeah, I’m excited to get back out here and play, but it was nice to be home.”
