Pretty cool story of a couple of teammates playing together at the @BahamasKFTour I’ve tweeted a bunch about Hunter Eichhorn, a kid who grew up in a tiny town in the UP of Michigan, put his clubs away 7 to 8 months at a time each year, had never been on airplane before getting to @MarquetteMGolf but became a standout player there. Tyler Leach grew up on a course his family owned. A little 6,000 yard course in Wisconsin that costs less than $30 to play. Yet he too made it to Marquette and became a standout player. Neither of them should have made to pro golf, but against those long odds they did. Eichhorn got thru all three stages to earn his full card for the first time, he’s been a Monday Q killer for the last few years. And Leach got thru four stages of Q-school to earn his card. (There is a pre-q stage for guys who have not made a cut on a pga sanctioned tour). And today after both playing the first 36 in 12-under they are paired together in the third round. And there bags tell the story of the grind. Leach and his faded Marquette bag, Eichhorn and his old faded Taylor made bag. Just awesome. Pretty damn cool.

Once @MarquetteMGolf alums Hunter Eichhorn and Tyler Leach were paired together for the third round @BahamasKFTour at Atlantis Paradise Island, their coach hopped on a plane to Atlantis to surprise them ✈️ "I was like, 'Man, I swear that's Coach' ... I had a good laugh." 🤣

Great to finally meet you and learn more about you and your family! Thank you for blessing the golf world with unique stories and using your platform to make a difference!

Special weekend honoring one of @MarquetteMGolf all-time greats! Welcome to the Hall of Fame @OJFarrell

Tyler Leach was the medalist at both of his first and second stage sites 👀 With the backing and support of his family, he looks to improve his status at the Final Stage of PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry with a top 5 finish and a @PGATOUR card.

Big few days ahead for Tyler and Hunter at Q School gomarquette.com/news/2025/12/1… #WeAreMarquette

Tyler Leach, a 25-year-old from Spring Valley, Wisconsin (population 1,400), grew up on the public golf course that his parents bought the year before he was born. It didn't have a driving range, but it did have ultra-tight corridors that taught him to hit it straight. Good thing, and here's why: Leach played five seasons at @MarquetteMGolf, earning Big East Freshman of the Year and twice being named first-team All-Conference. But the latter portion of his college career was marred by the putting yips. He once tied for sixth at the 2022 Wisconsin State Amateur – and lost over 16 strokes on the greens. Yet, he turned pro anyway in 2023. Said Leach's college coach, Steve Bailey: “Even during stretches of college when he wasn’t playing his best, he had a superpower of being unfazed by adversity ... of deflecting hurdles and never doubting his ability.” Currently, Leach is ranked No. 4,896 in the world rankings – so, in other words, he's not ranked. He's also only played two PGA Tour-sanctioned events, both in Canada. But a switch to a center-shafted broomstick putter in July led to his first pro win, at the Minnesota State Open, and a torrid run through PGA Tour Q-School. He medaled at first and second stage, the latter coming after he closed in 7-under 63, over seven shots better than the field average that day. He's one of five players at final stage this week in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, who began this Q-School journey at pre-qualifying. Said Leach: “I’ve been in some pretty dark places with my putting, and it’s definitely a huge accomplishment to climb out of that because it’s hard to make it in professional golf if you can’t make putts. I went through two or three years there where I was struggling and certainly had my doubts. But if I could finish in the top five, it would mean I overcame that hurdle and accomplished my dream, which is amazing to think about.”
