When the final group for the day was teeing off, there was a lot of congestion at the top of the leaderboard. Davis Thompson led, but he was only four strokes ahead of the rest of the top 10. That ultimately, more or less, held as Thompson earned his first career win.
It was not a winning outing for Hayden Springer, but the rookie officially put the PGA Tour on notice. He started off in impressive fashion, tying numerous records with a first-round 59 that included an eight-under showing on the first nine holes.
Luke Clanton, an amateur who made the cut at the US Open, put in a phenomenal outing. He shot 24 under, including eight under in the final round, to finish within a few strokes of a win.
The entire field played really well, so much so that the cut was -5. For reference, that was the second-place score at the US Open last month. Quite a few good golfers missed out at the John Deere Classic as a result:
- Michael Kim
- Nick Dunlap
- Matt Kuchar
- Chris Gotterup
- Adam Schenk
- Davis Riley
Only one player had to withdraw this weekend: Jimmy Stanger. Everyone else made it through at least two full rounds of the tournament.
