Hadwin has great week but loses 3M Open to college phenom, Matthew Wolff

PGA Tour 3M Open final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2019/3m-open/leaderboard.html

Adam Hadwin 64 66 69 67 -18 T4 played well enough by far to win the 3M Open this weekend, however some weeks you lose because you mess up, others, like this weekend you just get beat by someone a bit better. College phenom Matthew Wolff eagled the last hole to shoot 69 67 62 65 -21 to become only the 8th player to win the NCAA Championship and the PGA Tour in the same year.

In just his 3rd pro tournament, he  edged Bryson DeChambeau and college competitor from Cal, Collin Morikawa by a shot, both at -20. Wolff wins $1.152 million, and his tour card just six weeks after winning the NCAA individual title with Oklahoma State.

It was one of the best tournaments of the year, DeChambeau had eagled the 18th earlier after a sensational 2nd to 6 feet and figured he was heading for a playoff at -20, until Wolff made his unlikely long final putt, and he wasn't home and dry as he had to deal with a brilliant finish by Morikawa, who also turned pro this summer after leaving Cal. His putt for birdie on the 17th hole barely horseshoed out and the two embraced on the final green. One just 20, the other 22.

It was Adam Hadwin's  6th top 10 of the year. Other Canadian scores : Adam Svensson, Roger Sloan -14, T15, Nick Taylor, Corey Conners -10,T46, David Hearn -7, T58, Mac Hughes -5 T66.

Next week the PGA Tour is the John Deere Classic and Wolff with his unique, funky swing, is in the field.
