Haymaker battled all fall long on USKG Chattanooga local tour to defend his 2017 Player of the Year honors and maintain eligibility for USKG World Championship @ Pinehurst, NC. Hayden played well in every event, but found himself needing to win the final two season events including the tour championship to retain Player of the Year status. Haymaker flat out delivered. He won both weekend events in dramatic fashion while enduring winter conditions. On Saturday, Hayden made a four foot par putt to force a play-off. In sudden death, Hayden executed perfectly and won with a two putt par on the first play-off hole. Sunday, he took the early lead on the 3rd hole of the tour championship with a hole out pitching wedge for an eagle followed by a 45 foot birdie putt bomb on the 4th. Haymaker was then able to hold off a furious challenge from Knoxville's Aiden Cooper down the stretch to win the final event of the season and set the table for an exciting 2019!
