B.C. boys Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin shine early in Canadian Open at Hamilton Globe_Sports
Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin of British Columbia bump fists on the final day of the World Cup of Golf at the Metropolitan Golf Club in Melbourne on Nov. 25, 2018.On the eve of the RBC Canadian Open, Adam Hadwin couldn’t help but imagine how the tournament might end.“I didn’t sleep as well as I may have liked to [Wednesday] night,” the Canadian admitted. “Just kind of thinking things about the week and … picturing walking up 18 with a lead on Sunday.
That means Canada has two players in the top seven heading into Friday’s second round. If either of them can finish the Canadian Open the way they started it on Thursday, Canada might have its first homegrown winner in 65 years, ending a drought that has existed since Pat Fletcher of Montreal lifted the national championship's trophy in 1954.They are both 31 and grew up together in Abbotsford, B.C., playing junior golf at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club.
For the Canadians, classic Hamilton, designed by English maestro Harry Colt and now more than 100 years old, is the kind of layout they prefer. “I think this course, Hamilton, suits my game more than Glen Abbey,” Taylor said. “You’ve got to hit fairways. It’s not really a bomb-and-gouge-type golf course because the rough is so high.”
