John Deere Classic final round tea times and pairings Sunday at TPC Deer Run. Davis Thompson takes lead at John Deere Classic 2025. Exciting final round ahead. Max Homa and Davis Thompson battle for the lead at John Deere Classic. Davis Thompson’s quest for first PGA win at John Deere Classic. Imagine the thrill of a hometown hero on the brink of a monumental victory. Davis Thompson, a native of Syracuse, is in the running for his first PGA Tour win as he heads into the final round of the John Deere Classic on Sunday. The stakes are high and the competition is fierce. On Saturday, Thompson made a crucial 10-ft birdie putt on the 18th hole, breaking a tie that once included 10 players. This pivotal moment gave him a four under 67 on a challenging course, putting him one shot ahead with a total of 15 under 198. His competitors, including Brian Campbell, Max Homa, Ameiliano Grill, and David Lipky, each posted a 68, keeping the tension high. Interestingly, Doug Gim, who led after 36 holes, found himself outside the top 20 after a 74, marred by two bogeies and no birdies in his last 10 holes. Thompson’s birdie birdie finish, despite missing an 8-oot Eagle attempt on the par 517th, positions him to potentially become the first player to win back-to-back at the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker’s three consecutive wins from 2009 to 2011. But here’s where it gets controversial. A victory for Thompson could also secure his spot in the British Open as it would place him at the top of the alternate list based on the next world ranking. With so many players within striking distance, the final 18 holes promised to be anything but predictable. Nice to have some momentum going into tomorrow, Thompson remarked, reflecting on his performance. Camilo Viegas and Austin Ecro, both with 69s, along with Matt Cooer, 67, and Auburn junior Jackson Kovven, are just three shots behind. 13 players remain within four shots of the lead, making the Sunday’s round a nailbiter. Among the top contenders, only Lipky, Kven, and Kevin Roy have yet to secure a win on the PGA Tour. Roy, a Bishop Luton graduate, is four shots back after a 70 on Saturday. Following a tournament record 62 at last week’s Rocket Classic in Detroit, Max, despite being in a slump and struggling to make the PGA Tour playoffs, remains a formidable opponent. His steady play even after a rare miss at the par 510th, earned him a 68. Homa’s last win was in January 2023 at Tory Pines, and he’s been under scrutiny for his form, having changed coaches, equipment, and caddies twice. Golf has just been very boring for me this year. 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, Homer shared. It’s just nice to get to feel that again. It’s been a while. The TPC deer run presented a different challenge this time with starting times moved up to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. The combination of hot weather and wind made the greens firmer and faster and several pins were strategically placed to punish errant shots. No one shot lower than 66 in the third round, a stark contrast to the 28 scores of 65 or better in the opening rounds. Certainly makes for a fun Sunday when a bunch of guys have a chance, Coocher noted. Jackson Kovven, still four shots back, has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Nick Dunlap, who won the American Express last year as an amateur before turning pro. Quan, who is deferring his PGA Tour card through the PGA Tour University Accelerated program to return to Auburn, said, “It’s obviously very inspiring to see what he did about a year ago now. Obviously, to be one of the few amateurs to win a professional event would be great. At the end of the day, I just got to go give it my best shot and be happy with the result. As the final round approaches, the question remains, who will seize the moment and claim victory? Will Thompson’s hometown support propel him to his first PGA Tour win, or will another contender rise to the occasion?

Davis Thompson takes lead at John Deere Classic 2025. Exciting final round ahead. Imagine the tension as the final putt drops, deciding the fate of the John Deere Classic. Davis Thompson, a name that might soon echo through the annals of golf history, found himself in a thrilling showdown on Saturday. With a 10-ft birdie putt on the 18th hole, he broke away from a pack of 10 players who were all vying for the lead, securing a four under 67 and a one-shot advantage heading into the final round. But here’s where it gets controversial. The course conditions changed dramatically, making the final round a true test of skill and adaptability. Thompson’s journey to the top was anything but smooth, and his final birdie putt was a testament to his resilience and precision. Let’s dive into the details of this gripping golf drama. Thompson’s final birdie putt was a nailbiter, especially after Brian Campbell had just sunk a 30foot birdie putt. This putt catapulted Thompson to a 15 under 198, just one shot ahead of Campbell, Max, Ameiliano Grill, and David Lipsky, each of whom carded a 68. The leaderboard was a who’s who of golf talent, with each player bringing their unique strengths to the table. One notable absence from the top of the leaderboard was Doug Gim, the 36-hole leader. Gim’s performance took a downturn as he played his last 10 holes with two bogeies and no birdies, resulting in a 74 and pushing him outside the top 20. This is the part most people miss. The volatility of golf where a leader can quickly fall from grace. Thompson’s birdie birdie finish was impressive though he missed an 8-ft eagle attempt on the par 517th hole. As he prepares for the final round, he has the chance to make history by becoming the first player to win back-to-back at the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker’s three repeat from 2009 through 2011. And this is the part most people miss. The pressure of history weighing on a player’s shoulders can either break them or make them legends. For Thompson, there’s more at stake than just the trophy. A victory would move him to the top of the alternate list for the British Open, determined by the next World Ranking. The final 18 holes promised to be a roller coaster with so many players still in the mix. Nice to have some momentum going into tomorrow, Thompson said, reflecting on his performance. Camilo Viegas and Austin Ecro were among four players three shots behind, while Matt Cooer and Auburn Jr. Jackson Quan were in the group four back. 13 players were within four shots of the lead, setting the stage for an exhilarating finish. Of the top 14 players, only Lipky, Kovven, and Kevin Roy have yet to win on the PGA Tour. Homa, known for his steady play, has been trying to pull himself out of a deep slump. His 68 was a testament to his resilience even after a rare miss on the par 510th hole. Homa’s last win on the PGA Tour was in January 2023 at Tory Pines, and he has been under scrutiny for his poor form this year. “Golf has just been very boring for me this year,” Homa 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.” This candid admission highlights the mental toll that a slump can take on a professional athlete. The TPC deer run, known for yielding low scores in the opening rounds, presented a different challenge on Saturday. The starting times were moved up to avoid afternoon thunderstorms, and the hot weather and wind combined to make the greens firmer and faster. Several pins were tucked along the edges, punishing misses on the wrong side. No one shot lower than 66 in the third round, a stark contrast to the 28 scores of 65 or better over the opening two rounds. Certainly makes for a fun Sunday when a bunch of guys have a chance, Coocher said, capturing the excitement of the final round. One of those players is Kovven, who has a chance to make it two years in a row with an amateur winning on the PGA Tour. Nick Dunlap’s victory at the American Express last year inspired many, and Kven is no exception. It’s obviously very inspiring to see what he did about a year ago now, Quinn said. Obviously, to be one of the few amateurs to win a professional event would be great. At the end of the day, I just got to go give it my best shot and be happy with the result. This sentiment underscores the dream of every aspiring golfer. The chance to make history and prove themselves on the big stage. As the final round approaches, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion. Who will emerge victorious? Will Thompson make history or will one of the other talented players steal the show? The world of golf is on the edge of its seat, waiting to see who will claim the John Deere Classic title. And this is where we ask you, the readers, who do you think will come out on top? Do you believe Thompson has what it takes to secure back-to-back victories, or will one of the other contenders pull off an upset? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let the debate begin. Max Homa and Davis Thompson battle for the lead at John Deere Classic. Max Homa and Davis Thompson are gearing up for an exciting finish at the John Deere Classic, where the competition has been unusually fierce due to challenging weather conditions. Since the tournament kicked off on Thursday, players have faced swirling winds and firm greens, resulting in higher thanex expected scores. This year’s John Deere Classic has felt quite different from the usual fast-paced action typically seen at TPC Deer Run. However, by late Saturday afternoon, the familiar sounds of country music courtesy of Dirk’s Bentley filled the air and a well-known name emerged at the top of the leaderboard, rekindling the spirit of golf in the Heartland. Defending champion Davis Thompson made a crucial 10- foot 7-in birdie on the final hole just moments before Bentley took the stage, allowing him to claim sole possession of the lead after 54 holes. This is the same position he found himself in as he prepared for the final round last year. As for the usual high-scoring track at Deer Run, it seems that a thrilling finish is on the horizon. Max Homa, Brian Campbell, and Ameliano Grill, all season veterans with previous PGA Tour victories, are just one shot off the lead, while nine other players are only two strokes behind, and another 12 are within four shots of the top. At just 26 years old, Thompson has faced challenges in validating his previous year’s win. Since claiming his first tour victory, he has only managed to secure two top 10 finishes. His current total of 15 under par after three rounds is significantly lower than the remarkable 21 under pace he set last year, which ultimately led to a record-breaking 28 under winning score. Nevertheless, he feels confident and believes his game is improving, reminiscent of his performance leading up to last year’s tournament. Reflecting on his round, Thompson expressed his eagerness to compete, especially after losing his second round lead with a mixed bag of two birdies and two bogeies on the front nine. However, a motivational chat with his caddy at the turn helped him regain focus, and he finished strong with four birdies on the back nine, including at holes 17 and 18, resulting in a solid four under par round of 67. 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 I’m excited to be in this position again,” he said. Thompson’s leading score is the highest at Deer Run since 2009, and the field’s average score of 69.620 is the highest since 2015. However, thunderstorms are expected Saturday night, which could soften the course conditions for Sunday’s final round. With winds predicted to be significantly calmer than the 15 to 16 mph gusts that challenged players on Saturday, Thompson and his competitors may find the course more forgiving for scoring. Max Homa, who shot a three under par 68, is looking to turn around a frustrating season that has seen him struggle with only one top 25 finish to his name, placing him 122nd in the FedEx Cup standings. Wind is obviously the ultimate test for us. It was hard to get the ball real close to the hole today, Homer remarked. He managed to pair four birdies with just one bogey, ranking T2 in driving accuracy and eighth in strokes gained off the tea. Homer is eager to secure his first victory since winning the Farmers Insurance Open in 2023. Golf has been pretty boring for me this year. 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, he shared. Kurt Kitayyama delivered the best score of the day with a five under par 66, propelling him into a tie for sixth place, just two shots off the lead. He is joined in that tie by fellow past tour winners Austin Ecro, Sheamus Power, and Camilo Viegas. Five players, including the seasoned Matt Coocher, a ninetime tour winner, and Jackson Kovven, an amateur 27 years younger than Coocher, will start Sunday four shots behind Thompson. Thompson is aiming to become the fourth player in history to win back-to-back titles at the John Deere Classic. He will tee off at 12:45 p.m. on Sunday alongside David Lipky, a four-year professional still in search of his first tour victory after 129 starts. Homa and Guillo will tee off just before them while Kityama and Campbell will be the third to last pairing. Campbell who is looking for his second win of the year will also have the opportunity to prevent Thompson from becoming the first repeat winner at the deer since Steve Stricker. Another University of Illinois alum achieved three consecutive victories in 2011. While Campbell may not prioritize this as his main motivation, he is determined to give it his all. I guess I’ll have to help Stricker out a little bit tomorrow, he joked, referring to his victory at the Mexico Open earlier this year. All players on Sunday will be looking to improve their standings in the FedEx Cup. With Thompson currently holding the best position at number 48 among the leading group, back in his familiar spot at the top of the John Deere leaderboard, the softspoken Georgian is eager to see what Sunday has in store. It shouldn’t change a whole lot, but I feel like your focus sharpens a little more. I find it easier to commit to every shot when I’m in the lead as opposed to the back of the pack, he explained. In a nod to familiarity, Thompson will rest in the same Airbnb known as Trophy House that has hosted the last three champions of the John Deere Classic. As for his Saturday night plans, aside from unwinding with card games with his housemates, he said, “I’ll take a look at the weather and the whole locations and get a game plan together for tomorrow. When Sunday arrives, he is ready to take on the challenge. Early on, I probably won’t be scoreboard watching at all. By the back nine, I’ll see where I am and go from there.
