Defending Champion Davis Thompson Leads John Deere Classic Cutline

News summary

Defending champion Davis Thompson leads the John Deere Classic with a one-shot advantage after a strong third round of 15 under par, highlighted by back-to-back birdies on the final holes to secure the solo lead. He is aiming to become the first player to defend the title since Steve Stricker won three straight from 2009 to 2011, and a victory would also position him at the top of the alternate list for The Open. Thompson faces stiff competition from a five-way tie at 14 under, including Americans Max Homa, Brian Campbell, David Lipsky, and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo, with 14 players within four shots of the lead going into the final round. Max Homa, a six-time PGA Tour winner, is attempting to recover from a slump and remains in contention after a solid 68. The tournament has seen highly competitive play in windy conditions at TPC Deere Run, with multiple players sharing the lead at various points and only a few remaining without a PGA Tour win. The final round promises intense competition as Thompson and his challengers vie for the title and valuable playoff positioning.
