WORKDAY CHARITY OPEN


July 9, 2020


Adam Hadwin


Dublin, Ohio


Q. Your one and only bogey coming on your first hole and after that seven birdies. What do you attribute this great play to?

ADAM HADWIN: You know, it's been building for a while. Obviously had a good week last week and kind of took that momentum into the round. Staying patient. You know, it's a golf course where you get too aggressive, it'll sneak up on you pretty quick. Even with softer conditions than what we're used to, things aren't running through fairways and greens are spinning and holding. You can be aggressive, but you get yourself on the wrong side of the hole, even though it's sort of a tamer Muirfield Village than we may be used to, still a lot of slope on those greens. Just hitting good shots, quality shots to the right side of the hole, giving myself looks. I hit some really good iron shots there starting on 18 kind of through 4 and 5 and then made a couple good putts there on 7 and 9 to finish the round.

Q. Did you find yourself, given the conditions on the golf course -- again, it's soft, they're putting a lot of water on it, did you find yourself being a little more aggressive than you normally are here at Muirfield Village for the Memorial?

ADAM HADWIN: I'd like to say yes, but no, not really, especially being the first round. You know, first round here, get yourself in position, give yourself some looks at it, hopefully make a few -- I'm a firm believer in sort of easing myself into weeks and getting more aggressive as that goes along, as you sort of build some comfort with the golf course and with how you're swinging and stuff. It's still a golf course, no matter how soft it's playing, like I say, it can sneak up on you. You get too aggressive, you miss a couple balls, you're scrambling for pars and you can sort of kind of just get off kilter and that's not -- I'm not a fan of that in the first round. It's fairways and greens and make it as easy as possible, especially early in the week.

Q. You're coming off a tie for fourth last week, your best finish since the fall. Did you find something in particular with your game last week, maybe a certain part of it?

ADAM HADWIN: No, not really. Even the first two weeks back, I felt like I played some pretty decent golf. I just kind of made some rusty mistakes. I'd hit a ball out of bounds or in the water where I shouldn't have or maybe try to get too much out of a shot, whereas I think last week it kind of came together. I was doing a lot of the similar things, but I didn't make any of the mistakes. I felt like there were times where last week where I probably could have gotten a few more shots, but I really didn't have any risk. It was kind of a free-flowing easy type round and just not a lot of stress. When you can do that through multiple weeks, it helps a lot.
