Going off in the early wave, Buckley posts a bogey-free 7-under 64 to claim a tie for third. Made the turn at 2 under, and after missing a 6-footer at the 10th, reeled off 4 straight birdies. Got another at the 17th after missing a 10-foot eagle putt. And he’s not even low Hayden.
That honor belongs to Hayden Springer, who carded a 59. After a par at the 1st, he made seven 3s and a deuce to turn in 27! Birdied the 15th and was in the process of chopping up the reachable 17th when he holed a 53-yard shot from the left rough for eagle. Then made a 12-footer at the last for 59. (He also holed a 60-footer from the rough early in the round.) When it’s your day …
Springer is an easy guy to root for. Here’s a story from 2021. Inspiring family. The young daughter has since died.
Here’s hoping the Haydens finish 1-2 this week.

Against Overwhelming Odds
Emma and Hayden Springer met as freshmen at Texas Tech. Both were playing golf for the school and their shared passion for the game helped the relationship quickly bloom.
