Davis Thompson captured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2024 John Deere Classic, setting a new tournament scoring record of 28-under 256. Thompson's impressive performance included a third-round 62 and a final-round stretch of five birdies in six holes. He excelled with his short game and putting, using Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges and an Odyssey White Hot OG 7S mallet putter, eventually leading the field in putts per green in regulation. This victory comes after a series of strong finishes, including a runner-up at the Rocket Mortgage Classic just a week prior. Thompson's win not only earned him $1.44 million and 500 FedEx Cup points but also a spot in the 2024 Open Championship. The 25-year-old joins a storied list of golfers who achieved their first PGA Tour win at this event.
