Adam Hadwin of Canada counteracted a double bogey with a late eagle and held onto the lead at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship on Friday in Southampton, Bermuda.

Hadwin posted an eagle and a birdie during his final four holes to shoot a 5-under 66 at Port Royal Golf Course, moving to 11-under 131 for the event. That was good for a one-shot lead over Chandler Phillips (second-round 64) and Braden Thornberry (65) at the halfway point of the tournament.

Hadwin, 38, is trying to salvage his least successful year on the PGA Tour. He entered the week No. 147 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings, and only the top 100 at the end of the fall will be guaranteed their tour cards for 2026. A win, of course, would give Hadwin a two-year exemption as he seeks to remain a fully exempt PGA Tour member for the 12th straight season.

Hadwin began his round on the back nine and had a lost-ball penalty at the par-3 13th that led to a double bogey. But after playing the first nine holes in even par, he notched three birdies on the front nine along with dunking an eagle at the par-4 sixth.

Phillips is in a spot similar to Hadwin entering the week at No. 139 in the points race. He overcame an opening bogey by notching an eagle at the par-5 17th hole along with six birdies.

Tied for fourth are Noah Goodwin (67) and Max McGreevy (64) at 9 under par. Adam Schenk shot a 65 Friday and is alone in sixth at 8 under.

Missing the cut line of even par were defending champion Rafael Campos of Puerto Rico (1 over), Frenchmen Victor Perez (1 over) and Matthieu Pavon (4 over) and Cameron Champ (8 over).
