Hadwin, Conners scramble to make the cut. BobWeeksTSN has MORE: PGAChampionship
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- When asked to sum up his second round of the PGA Championship, Adam Hadwin had a succinct description.Indeed it was. He had some missed fairways, frustrating putting, some scrambling pars, and a big finish that allowed him to continue on into the weekend. It ended on a high note with the Abbotsford, B.C., product saving his best for the last two holes.
That shot was a cut six-iron that flew at the flag before settling about 15 feet behind the pin. Two putts later, he was in for a solid par. Hadwin held his round together early on with save after save. He missed seven greens in his first dozen holes and managed to scramble for par every time. When he did start hitting greens later in the round, he couldn’t get the ball into the hole.
While his opening 18 on Thursday was made up of a double and 17 pars, Friday’s round was a little more erratic with lots of ups and downs. “I made a couple of birdies, which is nice,” smiled Conners after his round. “I didn’t do that yesterday. But I was less consistent today. I missed a few drives, which I was expecting. I knew I couldn’t keep hitting every fairway – it’s just not realistic. . . . I was a little up and down. I made some mistakes with the putter, which is disappointing because I’ve been rolling the ball well.”
“I wasn’t being aggressive enough,” Conners stated. “I was trying to make the ball break and hitting it a little softer so it takes the break and left some short. I had a really silly three putt on eight, my second-last hole. Same thing on seven, I had a really good look.”
