Corey Conners , Adam Svensson , Taylor Pendrith , Nick Taylor and Mackenzie Hughes were the five other Canadians to tee off in the opening round.
After another long run of pars, Hadwin birdied the 15th and followed that up by sinking a 38-foot putt for eagle on the last to skyrocket up the leaderboard. Conners entered the final round of last year's PGA Championship a stroke off the lead, but faltered late and finished tied for 12th as Brooks Koepka took home the title.
The Richmond Hill, Ont. native would then settle down with four consecutive pars, before his third shot on the last came up well short. Pendrith would go on to two-putt for bogey, ending his first round with a 1-over 72. Taylor will have to rebound quickly if he wants to have a chance at contending on Sunday after finishing 1-over.
