With eight birdies and two eagles – including a an unexpected 50-metre pitch-in for eagle at 17 and birdie at 18 – Hayden Springer shot a 12-under-par 59 on the par-71 course.
Despite making seven birdies and an eagle over this first 10 holes, Joaquin Niemann swears he didn’t know what he was shooting on Friday in the LIV Golf season opener in Mexico.
