PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) —
Adam Hadwin knows all
about going low on the
PGA Tour. Still to be de-
termined is whether that
translates into a victory.
Hadwin, who shot a 59 at
the CareerBuilder Chal-
lenge two months ago, ran
off five straight birdies to
start the back nine Friday
at the Valspar Champion-
ship and posted a 7-under
64 to take a one-shot lead
into the weekend.
Even playing in the after-
noon in a strong breeze
and crustier putting sur-
faces, the Canadian one-
putted every hole on the
back nine until he had no
choice but to lag a 20-foot
birdie attempt on the 18th
race all the way off the Westbrook’s Thunder stop Spurs’ winning streak
hole to make sure it didn’t
green and into the fairway.
He shot 29 on the back and
reached the halfway point Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook (0) dunks in
at Innisbrook at 10-under front of San Antonio Spurs center Dewayne Dedmon during
132, one shot clear of Jim the first quarter of an NBA basketball game in Oklahoma City,
