Adam Hadwin, Corey Conners and Roger Sloan are at Bay Hill for the second stop in the PGA Tour’s Florida swing.

Hadwin’s spot in the restricted field event was never in doubt as members of the last Presidents Cup team automatically qualify. Canada’s top-ranked golfer also finished inside the top-70 (36th) last season on the FedEx Cup points list and is in the top-70 so far this year (26th), both of which would have got him into the field this week.

Corey Conners is playing this week on the strength of his early season success. The Listowel, Ont. native is 50th in FedEx Cup points after finishing second at the Sanderson Farms Championship last fall and tied for third at the Sony Open in Hawaii this January after Monday qualifying.

Roger Sloan made it into the field as an alternate on Monday after Patton Kizzire withdrew. Sloan has been busy in 2019, playing six times and is in fine form coming off a T30 at the Honda Classic, a week after finishing tied for second at the Puerto Rico Open.
