Hayden received the award for his achievements and attitude both on and off the golf course. He is the ninth recipient of the award.
Hayden has worked extensively with the Bradley Johnson Foundation, named after late Spain Park golfer Bradley Johnson. His work with the foundation includes securing pledges with every birdie he scores. To date he raised more than $20,000.
