Hayden Springer Earns PGA Tour Card Amid Personal Tragedy

Springer, along with four others, secures a spot on the PGA Tour at the first Q-school in over a decade.

Hayden Springer, grieving the loss of his 3-year-old daughter to Trisomy 18, earned his PGA Tour card at the tour's first Q-school in 11 years.
Springer closed with a 1-under 69 on the rain-soaked Dye Valley course at TPC Sawgrass, advancing to the PGA Tour for the first time with two shots to spare.
Also earning PGA Tour cards were Harrison Endycott of Australia, Trace Crowe, Blaine Hale Jr., and Raul Pereda of Mexico.
Springer leaned on having full status from winning the Canadian tour points title this year.
The PGA Tour brought back Q-school for the first time since 2012, offering a direct path to the big leagues.
