CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It wasn't exactly the text message that Jessica Hadwin was expecting to receive from her husband as she headed out the door with 5-year-old daughter Maddox to watch some PGA Championship golf at Quail Hollow on Friday morning. Article content 'Book us flights,' the message from Adam Hadwin read. Article content It was that kind of day on the golf course for the Canadian PGA Tour pro and, seemingly, just another day in the always adventurous chronicles of life on tour for The Hadwins. Article content Article content 'Just getting our daughter and myself all ready and headed out the door to the course. My husband texting: 'Book us flights,'' Jessica's 9:45 a.m. post read on X, followed by the perfect popular golf meme of a surprised Jon Rahm.

A quick turnaround isn't what they had hoped for, but the golfer Hadwin knew before the week that he had his work cut out for him the 7,626-yard Quail Hollow, a Charlotte golf course playing even longer after days of torrential rain softened the fairways and eliminated nearly any roll on drives. 'The biggest thing is the distance and how long the golf course is,' Hadwin said before the tournament. It has been a tough season for Hadwin with just a single finish inside the top-25 this year and seeing his world ranking drop to 92nd. 'Mentally it's taken its toll,' Hadwin said. 'My game's probably been better than it's shown, but maybe it snowballs the wrong way sometimes.' Things didn't go as planned at the PGA Championship, but he is sure to be greeted by smiling faces after his round no matter what. Read More

Which Canadian has best chance this week at PGA Championship?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Five Canadian is less than four American with the exchange rate, but that didn't help the boys from north of border in trying to put together a practice round at the PGA Championship in Charlotte. Article content With a quintet of Canadian golfers in the field for the tournament beginning Thursday at Quail Hollow, the major championship tradition of an all-Canadian practice round was slightly more complicated. Article content 'We thought about playing a fivesome, but had to break it up,' Mackenzie Hughes said. Article content Hughes played in a threesome with Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor on Tuesday and the trio caught up with Postmedia as they waited on the back of the 18th green for Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith in the group behind, perhaps in order to sort out some friendly wagers. Article content 'We used to barely fill out a foursome and now we are splitting it into two groups,' Hadwin said. 'Guys are playing great. It's been incredible to see the growth of the game in Canada and the individual games of the guys out here.' Article content Article content Hughes is coming off a playoff loss to Ryan Fox at last week's Myrtle Beach Classic and the notoriously streaky player looks to have found his form at the right time heading into the season's second major, with three top tens in his past four starts. Article content 'The things I've been working on with my full swing have been coming along nicely. That's been a nice progression over the past eight weeks,' Hughes said. 'I'm seeing signs of that with my strokes gained numbers improving. My putter is starting to come back around and I've just got to wait for one of those tournaments where I put it all together and I know that if I play like have the past few weeks I can have a chance to win.' Article content As a Charlotte resident and a Quail Hollow member, Hughes is the de-facto tournament host for the Canadian contingent this week. On Tuesday evening, the entire gang — including wives, kids and caddies — headed over to Hughes' place for dinner. Article content With the course being a regular stop on the PGA Tour for years, Hughes doesn't think he has much of a home-field advantage over the rest of the players, but says the added comfort of seeing familiar faces at the course and sleeping in his own bed has him feeling unusually comfortable for a major championship week. Article content Five-time PGA Tour winner Taylor is trying his best to get comfortable at a weather-softened golf course that will play longer than its posted 7,626 yards and seems built for the game's biggest bombers. Article content 'It's playing super long,' Taylor said. 'But you've still got to hit iron shots to the green and make putts. I feel like if I get it play I can compete with anybody with my iron game and putting and chipping. Article content 'I'm not trying to overpower anything because that's not my game,' he added. 'I'll try to draw back from weeks like Torrey Pines earlier this season which was playing brutally long and I had a nice week there doing my thing.'

Who could be the best (and worst) winners at PGA Championship this week
Article content Article content With that in mind, we are going to try to figure out who would be the best (and worst winners) this week at the season's second major. Article content Of course, any player who wins a major deserves massive respect (shout out to Jimmy Walker and Shaun Micheel) but golf has been on a run of great champions over the past couple of years, so let's keep that train rolling. Article content Here is our list of this week's ultimate winners: Article content 1. Rory McIlroy Article content He finally did it at Augusta National. And he finally won the career grand slam. And as the lovely Irish office manager Anne from my Dentist said recently, 'He could do nothing else for the rest of his life, he's a legend and our hero.' Article content But what's the fun in that? Article content McIlroy's win at the Masters has the chance to unlock a magical next level in the 36-year-old's career. And with wins this year at Pebble Beach, the Players Championship and the Masters, the chance exists for the greatest season in history. Article content 'I'm scared a little of what it could do for him moving forward,' Canadian Adam Hadwin said on Tuesday. 'I wouldn't be shocked to see him roll off two, three more Masters in the next five years. I also wouldn't be shocked to see him go for a grand slam in one year.' Article content There it is. The single-season grand slam. Golf's holiest of holy grails. Article content Jordan Spieth recently referred to Quail Hollow as the 'Country Club of Rory McIlroy.' Article content McIlroy has won here four times in his PGA Tour career, including his first win 15 years ago this month. Article content Article content With a win this week, the golf world would be in a frenzy heading to next month's U.S. Open at Oakmont. And it's hard to even imagine what the scene would be in July if he ends up at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, an hour from his hometown, with a chance for the single-season slam. Article content Article content It was exactly 10 years ago when Spieth picked off the Masters and PGA Championship back-to-back and had golf fans dreaming of a single-season slam. He even was in contention over the final holes at the Open Championship at the Old Course to potentially make it three in a row, before Zach Johnson beat Marc Leishman and Louis Oosthuizen in a playoff.
