There was only one blowout win during Round 1 of March Man-Ness voting in the Young Bucks bracket. Scotty McCreery made quick work of Dan + Shay, taking almost three-quarters of the vote. Hunter Hayes, Dustin Lynch and Brett Eldredge also moved on in this battle to decide country's sexiest male artist.

Hayes barely slipped by Thomas Rhett, taking only 50.6 percent of the vote. It was almost as tight a race for Lynch and Florida Georgia Line, and Eldredge and Casey James. Back-and-forth voting until the very last minutes made this the closest of the four regions, and it turned out two very compelling matchups for Round 2.

McCreery takes on Hayes, while Lynch and Eldredge battle it out for the right to go to the regional finals. Vote for both matchups below. You can vote up to once every hour until the polls close on Sunday, March 23 at 11:59PM ET. The winner of the Young Bucks bracket will move on to face the top Legend.
