Professional career

Hadwin turned professional shortly after leaving college. His first professional win came at the Ledgeview Open on the Vancouver Golf Tour (VGT). He went on to win a total of four VGT events in 2009, including the Golden Ear's Open, the Johnston Meier Insurance Open and the RBC Invitational Pro-am, asserting himself against the top professionals in Western Canada. Hadwin won a 2009 Gateway Tour Winter Series Sponsorship event.[4]

This was his first PGA Tour event, and he finished at 5-under-par 279, good for a tie for 37th place.[7] Hadwin played in the 2010 Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic, a Nationwide Tour event, finishing in a tie for 33rd place.[7] Hadwin returned home in September and won the Vancouver Golf Tour's Vancouver City Open with a score of 204 (−10). Hadwin won the Canadian Tour's 2010 Desert Dunes Classic in the Palm Springs area, in November.[7] He had six top-10 finishes on the Canadian Tour in 2010, and was the circuit's Canadian Rookie of the Year.[4]

He won $41,154. This was his first major championship.[7] In the 2011 RBC Canadian Open at the Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club in Vancouver, Hadwin entered the final round in second place, one stroke out of the lead, following rounds of 72-66-68.[7] Hadwin shot 72 in the final round, finished in a tie for fourth place, won $228,800 for the biggest prize of his career, and captured the Rivermead Cup for the second straight year.[5][7] His position in the Official World Golf Rankings advanced from 332 to a career high of 214.[9] By finishing in the top-10 of the RBC Canadian Open, Hadwin earned a place in the next Tour event, the Greenbrier Classic, and continued his good play there with rounds of 70-71-68-68, good for a tie for 32nd place, winning $32,485.71.[7] He won the 2011 Vancouver Open on the Vancouver Golf Tour, scoring 65-65-73 and then winning a playoff over Brad Clapp.[10] He was given a sponsor's exemption into the 2011 Fry's.com Open where he took home $130,312 for a T-7th finish after shooting rounds of 71-68-64-70.

Overall, for the year, he made 13 of 25 cuts, with four top-10 finishes with two third-place finishes, but only finished 30th on the money list, not earning a PGA Tour card.
