Ben Coley recommended Hayden Springer as a betting long-shot at 200/1, stating Memorial Park's length and setup align perfectly with Springer's considerable power off the tee. Springer secured conditional PGA Tour status from four top-10 finishes last season and notably shot a 59 at the John Deere Classic. Recently, he's displayed consistent performances, making four cuts in five tournaments, including sixth at similarly challenging Torrey Pines. Despite a missed cut at Memorial Park last year, Springer excelled in tee-to-green play, only to struggle with putting. Presently in steadier form, Coley expects Springer—raised in Texas and playing essentially a home game—to significantly outperform market expectations in a venue closely matching his skillset.
