Hayden Springer Matches Course Record With 59 Points, Takes Lead At John Deere Classic

Like Goydos, Springer wreaked havoc on a rain-softened course, playing lift-clean-and-place. Unlike Goydos, who shot 8-under on the back, Springer wreaked havoc on the front. His 8-under tied the 54-year-old tournament’s nine-hole record, first set by Fuzzy Zoeller with an eight-birdie streak at Oakwood Country Club in 1976 and matched by five others, including Goydos and Sepp Straka en route to a victory at John Deere last year.
