McGreevy faced the toughest wind conditions, playing in late Thursday and early Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing from Oklahoma and seeing a lot of wind in my life, I\u2019ve seen fair shares of good and bad breaks type of thing,\u201d McGreevy said. \u201cYou\u2019ve just got to kind of roll with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
With wind gusting to 26 mph, Hadwin rebounded from a double bogey on the par-3 13th \u2014 his fourth hole of the day \u2014 with an eagle from the rough on the short par-4 sixth.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought just push it up there and get within 50, 60 yards of the green and just kind of pitch back up to that pin,\u201d Hadwin said. \u201cI thought as long as you keep it right of the bushes you\u2019ve kind of got 50, 60 yards to work with. It came off perfectly, the pitch shot did. You\u2019re a little bit lucky to kind of make it, but I did exactly what I wanted to do.:<\/p>\n
