Summary
- Hadwin, a two-time Presidents Cup player, shoots 6-under 65 in windy conditions
- Hadwin entered the week at No. 147 in FedExCup standings, fighting to retain Tour card
- Kanaya and Thornberry also outside top 100, looking to improve their standing
On November 10, 2022, Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin made a strong start in his bid to retain his PGA Tour playing privileges, shooting a 6-under 65 in windy conditions to take the lead in the first round of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Hadwin, a two-time Presidents Cup player, entered the week ranked 147th in the FedExCup standings. The top 100 players after next week's RSM Classic will keep their Tour cards for the following year. Hadwin's impressive round has put him in a good position, leading Takumi Kanaya by one shot. Braden Thornberry was also 5-under with two holes to play.
Hadwin acknowledged that missing the FedExCup playoffs for the first time in a decade this year was a "shock to the ego." However, he believes his best golf is still to come and that he will be a better player once he gets through this challenging period. Kanaya and Thornberry, who also began the week outside the top 100, will be looking to follow Hadwin's lead and improve their standing on the Tour.
