1) Davis Thompson Takes the Lead at John Deere Classic with 4-Under 67
Davis Thompson made a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to break out of a logjam and take the lead at the John Deere Classic. He finished the day with a 4-under 67, one shot ahead of Brian Campbell, Max Homa, Emiliano Grillo, and David Lipsky.
Thompson’s final birdie put him at 15-under 198, and he will try to become the first player to win back-to-back at the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker won three in a row from 2009 through 2011.
A victory would also move Thompson to the top of the alternate list determined by the next world ranking, giving him a chance to get into the British Open.
The final 18 holes feels a lot longer off considering how many players are very much in the mix going into Sunday. Thirteen players were within four shots of the lead, including Camilo Villegas, Austin Eckroat, Matt Kuchar, and Auburn junior Jackson Koivun.
Max Homa is the most proven of the lot, though he has been trying to pull himself out of a deep slump that has left him on the outside of just trying to make the PGA Tour playoffs this year.
The TPC Deere Run course was much tougher on Saturday, with hot weather and wind combining to make the greens firmer and faster. No one shot lower than 66 in the third round, and there were 28 scores of 65 or better over the opening two rounds.
It’s going to be a fun Sunday with a bunch of guys having a chance to win. Who will come out on top?

Syracuse native Davis Thompson leads John Deere Classic heading into final round. 2025 John Deere Classic Sunday tea times and key pairings Homer Thompson Kven Davis Thompson takes the lead at John Deere Classic with four under 67. In a thrilling turn of events, Davis Thompson seizes the lead at the John Deere Classic, but can he hold on? The John Deere Classic has just gotten a whole lot more interesting, folks. With a stunning 10-ft birdie putt on the 18th hole, Davis Thompson has broken free from a crowded leaderboard to take the lead. But here’s where it gets really exciting. He’s got a whole host of talented golfers hot on his heels, and Sunday’s final round is shaping up to be an absolute nailbiter. Thompson’s impressive four under 67 on a much tougher TPC deer run course has given him a one-shot lead over a quartet of formidable opponents Brian Campbell, Max Homer, Ameliano Grill, and David Lipky. Each of these golfers has shown incredible skill and determination throughout the tournament, and it’s anyone’s guess who will emerge victorious. But what about Doug Gim, the 36-hole leader who seemed almost unbeatable just a day ago? Unfortunately for Gim, his last 10 holes were a disaster with two bogeies and no birdies, leaving him with a disappointing 74 and pushing him outside the top 20. It just goes to show how quickly fortunes can change in the world of golf. Thompson, on the other hand, is riding high after his birdie birdie finish despite missing an 8-ft eagle attempt on the par 517th hole. He’s now in a prime position to become the first player to win back-to- back at the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker’s impressive three repeat from 2009 to 2011. And if that’s not enough motivation, a victory would also catapult him to the top of the alternate list for the British Open, determined by the next world ranking. But Thompson’s not the only one with a lot on the line. For Max Homer, a win would be a muchneeded boost after a tough year that seen him struggling to find his form. Despite being one of the most proven players in the field, Homer has been working hard to pull himself out of a deep slump, and a victory would be a huge confidence booster. And then there’s the amateur sensation, Jackson Koven, who’s still in the running despite being four shots back. Koven’s already secured a PGA Tour card through the PGA Tour University Accelerated program, but is deferring that to return to Orin. Could he follow in the footsteps of Nick Dunlap, who won the American Express last year as an amateur? It’s a tantalizing prospect, and we can’t wait to see how it all plays out. As Matt Cuchar so aptly put it, it certainly makes for a fun Sunday when a bunch of guys have a chance. With 13 players within four shots of the lead, this is anyone’s tournament. Who do you think will emerge victorious? Will it be Thompson, Homer, or one of the other talented golfers in the mix? Let us know in the comments. John Deere Classic final round tea times and pairings 2023 full schedule asterisk asterisk. Can Davis Thompson achieve the near impossible and defend his title at the John Deere Classic? All eyes are fixed on TPC Deer run as the final round gets underway, promising a thrilling conclusion to this year’s tournament. Thompson holds the lead, aiming for a rare back-to-back victory, a feat that adds immense pressure and excitement to his Sunday performance. He’ll be stepping onto the first tea in the very last group of the day paired with David Lipky. Lipsky is currently part of a crowded leaderboard, sitting in a four-way tie for second place. His score stands at 14 strokes under par, meaning he’s completed the course 14 shots better than the standard expected score for the holes played so far. He’s just one shot a drift of Thompson’s leading score, setting up a direct head-to-head battle right from the start. But here’s where it gets interesting. While Lipsky is Thompson’s playing partner, that four-way tie means there are other serious contenders lurking just one shot back, ready to pounce if the leaders falter. The final pairing might have the spotlight, but the winner could easily emerge from one of the groups playing just ahead of them.

Let us know in the comments below. John Deere Classic 2025. Max Homer and Davis Thompson lead the pack. Max Homer, Davis Thompson position themselves for victory amid challenging conditions at John Deere Classic PGA Tour. By Craig Dere, Sylvvis, Illinois. The 2025 John Deere Classic has taken an unexpected turn since Thursday with gusty winds and firm greens creating scoring challenges rarely seen at the typically burder friendly TPC deer run. But don’t be fooled, this tournament is about to heat up in classic Heartland fashion. As Saturday afternoon waned, defending champion Davis Thompson drained a clutch 10-foot 7-in birdie putt on the 18th hole just before country star Durk’s Bentley took the stage for the popular concerts on the course series. That final birdie secured Thompson’s sole possession of the 54 hole lead, exactly where he stood at this point during his victorious run last year. And here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday promises to deliver the quintessential Deerrun shootout fans have come to expect. A formidable pack of challengers sits just one stroke behind Thompson, including six-time tour winner Max Homer, Brian Campbell, Ameliano Grill, and David Lipsky. Nine additional contenders lurk just two shots back with another dozen players within striking distance at four strokes behind. The stage is set for a dramatic final round showdown. Thompson, only 26 years old, has faced his share of struggles since claiming his Maiden Tour victory here last year. He arrived at Deer Run with just two top 10 finishes over the past 12 months. His current 15 under total of 198 falls considerably short of his blistering 21 under pace at this stage last year, which ultimately led to his tournament record 28 under winning total. Nevertheless, the familiar position at top the leaderboard has Thompson feeling confident about his game’s trajectory. Excited to go compete, Thompson remarked after recovering from a shaky front nine where he offset two birdies with two bogeies. Following a motivational conversation with his caddy at the turn, Thompson caught fire on the back nine, carding four birdies, including crucial ones at 17 and 18 to post a solid four under 67 and reclaim the lead. I was kind of trending last year coming into this tournament and obviously played well. This year kind of feels the same way. I can’t really focus on last year, but excited to be in this position again. Thompson’s leading score represents the highest 54 hole total at Deer Run since 2009, while the field scoring average of 69.620 marks the highest since 2015, but the dynamics could shift dramatically for Sunday’s finale. Anticipated overnight thunderstorms should soften the firm playing surfaces and forecasted winds are expected to diminish by half compared to Saturday’s challenging 15 to 16 mph swirling breezes. These conditions could set the stage for the lowscoring finale that has become this tournament’s hallmark. It was really windy today and yesterday afternoon, explained Homer after posting a three under 68 that kept him firmly in contention. Wind is obviously the ultimate test for us. It was hard to get the ball real close to the hole today. Homer, who balanced four birdies against a single bogey, has been impressively accurate off the tea, ranking T2 in driving accuracy and eighth in strokes gained off the tea. He’s seeking his first victory since the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open during what has been an uncharacteristically disappointing season that features just one top 25 finish and has him sitting at 122nd in the FedEx Cup standings. Golf has just been very boring for me this year, Homer candidly admitted. I haven’t had a whole lot of stress and you want to be stressed out. So, I look forward to the butterflies in the morning. I look forward to the first T-shot. It’s just nice to get to feel that again. It’s been a while. Curt Katya posted Saturday’s lowest round, a 5 under 66 that vaulted him into a four-way tie for sixth, just two strokes behind Thompson. He shares that position with fellow tour winners Austin Ecro, Sheamus Power, and Camilo Viegas. The leaderboard’s diversity extends further back where 47year-old veteran Matt Cuchar with nine career victories and 20-year-old amateur Jackson Kven, separated by nearly three decades in age, are among five players starting Sunday four shots off the pace. Thompson, aiming to become only the fourth back-to-back champion in John Deere Classic history, will tee off at 12:45 p.m. on Sunday alongside Lipky, who seeking his breakthrough victory after 129 tour starts. Homer and Guillo will precede them in the penultimate pairing, while Kataya and Campbell will constitute the third to last group. Campbell, fresh off his February triumph at the Mexico Open at Vidanta, could potentially prevent Thompson from joining Steve Stricker, who won three consecutive John Deere Classics from 2009 to 2011 in the tournament’s repeat winners circle. While Campbell’s primary focus remains on his own performance, he playfully acknowledged the Illinois connection with Stricker. I guess I’ll have to help Stricker out a little bit tomorrow, referencing their shared University of Illinois Alma Ma. Every player in Sunday’s field has additional motivation beyond the trophy, improving their FedEx Cup standing. Thompson currently holds the highest position among the leaders at 48th. The soft-spoken Georgian appears comfortable returning to familiar territory at top the leaderboard. It shouldn’t change a whole lot, but I feel like your focus sharpens a little more, he reflected on leading. I find it easier to commit to every shot when I’m in the lead as opposed to the back of the pack. In what might be the tournament’s most fascinating superstition, Thompson will spend Saturday night in the same bedroom at the now famous trophy house, a local Airbnb that has somehow housed the John Deere Classic champion for three consecutive years. His evening plans, I’ll take a look at the weather and the whole locations and get a game plan together for tomorrow, he said, while also mentioning some relaxing card games with his housemates. Come Sunday, his Syracuse native Davis Thompson leads John Deere Classic heading into final round. Imagine a hometown hero on the brink of making history. That’s exactly where Syracuse native Davis Thompson finds himself as he heads into Sunday’s final round of the John Deere Classic, poised to claim his first PGA Tour victory. asterisk asterisk. But here’s where it gets controversial. asterisk with a packed leaderboard and a course that’s suddenly playing tougher than ever. Can Thompson hold off a swarm of contenders hungry for the same prize? Let’s dive in. On Saturday, Thompson delivered a clutch performance, sinking a 10-ft birdie putt on the 18th hole to seize a one-shot lead with a four under 67. This wasn’t just any round. It was a breakout moment in a chaotic day where at one point 10 players were tied for the lead. Thompson’s final birdie put him at 15 under 198, narrowly ahead of Brian Campbell, Max Homer, Ameliano Grill, and David Lipsky, all of whom carded 68. And this is the part most people miss. While Thompson’s Birdie finish was impressive, he narrowly missed an 8-ft Eagle attempt on the par 517th. A missed opportunity that could have given him a cushion. Meanwhile, 36-hole leader Doug Gim stumbled, carding two bogeies in his final 10 holes to shoot a 74, dropping him out of contention. Thompson now stands on the precipice of becoming the first back-to-back winner at the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker’s historic three repeat from 2009 to 2011. Adding to the stakes, a win here could catapult Thompson into the British Open, as it would place him at top the alternate list based on the next world ranking. But Sunday’s final round feels like a marathon, not a sprint. 13 players are within four shots of the lead, including Camilo Viegas, Austin Ecro, and Matt Cuchar, all lurking just three shots back. Among them is Orbin Jr. Jackson Kven, who’s aiming to become the second amateur in two years to win on the PGA Tour. A feat Nick Dunlap achieved last year at the American Express. asterisk asterisk. Here’s the bold question. asterisk. Can an amateur truly outshine the pros in such a high pressure situation? Quoven, who’s already secured a PGA Tour card through the PGA Tour University program, seems undeterred, deferring his pro status to return to Orbin. Then there’s Max Homer, the most accomplished player in the mix, but one who’s been battling a slump that’s kept him on the fringes of the PGA Tour playoffs. Homer’s steady play on Saturday, including a remarkable save for par after a weward shot on the par 510th, showed glimpses of his former self. But with no top 10 finishes in over a year and recent changes in coaches, equipment, and caddies, asterisk asterisk is Homer’s resurgence for real, or is this just a fleeting moment? asterisk asterisk. The course itself has become a character in this drama. TPC deer run, which yielded low scores in the opening rounds, transformed into a beast on Saturday. Early tea times to avoid thunderstorms, scorching heat, and gusty winds made the Greens firmer and faster, while pin placements punished even slight mistakes. No one in the third round shot lower than 66, a stark contrast to the 28 scores of 65 or better in the first two days. as Kuchar aptly put it, certainly makes for a fun Sunday when a bunch of guys have a chance. And fun it will be with players like Kevin Roy, a Bishop Len graduate, also in the hunt for shots back after a solid 70 on Saturday. Roy, who set a tournament record with a 62 at last week’s Rocket Classic, is another local favorite hoping to make a move. So, as Thompson tees off on Sunday, the question isn’t just whether he can hold on. It’s whether he can thrive under the pressure of a crowded leaderboard and a course that’s suddenly playing like a different animal. What do you think? Is Thompson’s lead safe, or will someone like Homer, Quan, or even an underdog like Roy steal the show? asterisk asterisk. Let us know in the comments. This is one final round you won’t want to miss.
