4th of July fireworks show: Hayden Springer shoots 59 to grab the lead at John Deere Classic

The fireworks started early for Hayden Springer on the 4^th of July.

The PGA Tour rookie shot 27 on the front nine, chipped in for eagle at 17 and birdied 18 to shoot 59 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois in the first round of the John Deere Classic. He became the second player in three weeks to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour and 14^th player to shoot a sub-60 round in Tour history.

“It’s like something you dream of, right?” Springer said on Thursday, noting he was still shaking during his post-round interview. “We all want to go out and shoot 59. You don’t ever really — I don’t know how many chances I’ll ever get at doing that again.To pull it off and hole that shot on 17 and give myself a putt at it and make the putt on 18 was pretty special.”
