ERIN, Wis. – Through eight holes of the U.S. Open, Adam Hadwin was struggling to get his tournament on track, 2 over for his round and staring up at dozens of names ahead of him in the standings.
Then he made one birdie, then another and another. Once Hadwin’s record-tying run was over, he had birdied six consecutive holes, shot a 4-under 68 and vaulted into contention in just his fourth major championship appearance.
“The game’s funny. It can turn like that,” Hadwin said. “Thankfully it turned for the good today.”
Hadwin is no stranger to low numbers, having shot a 59 earlier this year at the CareerBuilder Challenge.
