US Open
While all the putts fell for Adam Hadwin in his opening -4 66 as is often the case, especially in as tough scoring conditions that windy tough Country Club is providing, Friday was a different story.
I watched him battling all day, +3 on his front nine, then another bogey up to +4 which was E for the tournament, still well within the cut, which fell at +3. However all those pars were keeping him in it, then came two late back to back birdies at 8 and 9, for a 72 and right back in contention T13 -2.
The field is incredibly bunched with the lead at -5 held by Colin Morikawa and qualifier Joel Dahman.
Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are right behind at -4.
Mac Hughes got off to a terrible double bogey 6 start, then bogey at the 13th but he recovered with 3 birdies mixed in to go out E 35, then 1 birdie and all pars coming home - 1 34 for a timely 69 which has him T31 +1 for this weekend.
Sadly the other Canadians, Corey Connors +4, Nick Taylor and Ben Silverman +5 and Roger Sloan +6 are out of the tournament.
