The Outlook

Hadwin missed his only cut at the British last year, and he enters this week in atrocious recent form. He hasn't been inside the top 40 since early May, and his 71.0 Recent Adjusted Round Score is one of the lower marks in the field. Despite hitting fairways well, he's really struggled with his mid iron game, failing to consistently hit greens in regulation. That just won't fly at Carnoustie, which makes him a fade candidate this week.
