Hi all, it's great to be back after two weeks away, and this weekend was another biggie, with the final 100 on the LPGA money list getting settled, and captains picks for the Presidents Cup team, including our own Adam Hadwin making their final bids.

On November 4, 2019 captain Ernie Els will add 4 wild card picks to his International squad who will take on another stacked USA squad, December 9-15 at the Royal Melbourne GC in Australia.
Canadian Adam Hadwin has made it impossible for Els not to give him serious consideration. On Sunday at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open he fired the low round of the day -8 63 to finish T4, his second straight T5 finish. Combining terrific ball striking (missed just one fairway and hit 15/18 greens) and a hot putter he had this to say.
" Some of the best I've hit it in years now, two good weeks back to back, I basically hit almost every line off the tee and into the green"
That play has moved him into the top 50 at #45 and qualifies him for the next WGC in China and he will make another start before that in Japan at the end of October, which means he has two more events to impress.
Regarding the 4 spots available, Aussie Jason Day will be picked, and to help spread the game globally, young Chilean star Joaquin Niemann who won his first pro event recently at the Greenbrier is thought to be another.
So there is a month of golf to go, all around the world for Els to peruse, don't forget Corey Connors may play into consideration with a strong finish.
One way or another Adam Hadwin is in a good spot.
