Adam Hadwin, a week ago, in his home country’s Canadian Open, didn’t cash. After rounds of 72 and 70, he missed the cut.
But things weren’t all bad.
He was also gifted something valuable.
A round with a pull cart.
He said last weekend he played Toronto Golf Club. No pressure. Just friends. Just pulling.
“I think every one of us [Canadians] always loves when we get north of the border,” Hadwin said this week. “Some of the other guys spend a little bit more time up there than I do. I’m rarely up there anymore. So it’s always nice to kind of cross and be amongst other Canadians, and obviously we get really good support.
“Yeah, it sucks to not play well, especially up there. I mean it sucks to miss cuts, but missing a cut in Canada is definitely up there with some of the worst. I got to spend some time with my mom, just kind of chill out, played Toronto Golf Club on Saturday, just relaxed.
“I was joking with the guys that I used a push cart around. I hadn’t done that in years, get back to what the game used to be for us growing up, just slugging it around yourself, hitting shots, having fun, enjoying company. The game can wear on you sometimes, and I think that I can lose sight of that sometimes with the best of ’em.”
Was playing that round, just pushing the push cart, helpful?
“Yeah, I think so,” said Hadwin, who entered Sunday’s final round of the Memorial tied for second. “I struggle sometimes to do those rounds. If I don’t play well, I kind of wonder why I’m out here. But, yeah, I think just kind of get back to what I used to do as a junior and as a young amateur when the game was not my livelihood and not how I paid bills or anything like that. Just go out and enjoy some good company and hack it around and hopefully hit a few good shots and kind of just enjoy the experience again.”
