The PGA Tour rookie shot a 12-under 59, just the 14th time a sub-60 round was accomplished in PGA Tour history. Amazingly, Springer tied the record for the first round of the John Deere Classic with his score, matching Paul Goydos’ 59 at the event in 2010.

Springer is the second player to break 60 in three weeks. Cameron Young shot a 59 in the second round at the Travelers Championship in June.

On the front nine, Springer shot 8-under 27, which tied the tournament’s lowest nine-hole score. He shot 32 on the back nine to get his 59 for the round.

Shooting 59 felt like a possibility for him after that 27, he told PGA Tour Radio’s Bill Rosinski.

 

 

Springer finished his first round with an exclamation point, sinking an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole. Leading up to that, he dropped in an 18-foot birdie putt on the 15th and scored an eagle from 55 yards on the 17th.

He held a four-shot lead over second-place Harry Hall when he finished his round. Springer, 27, is looking for his first career PGA win.

Making Springer’s opening round perhaps even more impressive, he missed the cut in seven of his past eight events.
