Davis Thompsonwho started as leader this last day in TPC Deere Runin Silvis (Illinois)was awarded by PGA Tour John Deere Classic with a total of 256 strokes (-28) after posting a 64 (-7) this Sunday. On the 18th green he joined in an emotional embrace with his partner.
The American, 25 years old and a professional since 2021, immediately hit the ground running with 29 shots in the first nine holes and up to seven birdies without failure in the first ten holes of this final round.
He attacked the lead after carding a 62 stroke (-9) on Saturday. The American golfer who was born in Atlanta, and has the Spanish Ramón Bescansa in his work team, knows how to face this Sunday the always heavy burden of never having won on the PGA Tour.
Thompson reached the final three holes with a 4-stroke lead over his pursuers. Second, with 260 strokes, amateur also finished in the top 10 last week Luke Clanton (63), Michael Thorbjornsen (63) and CT Pan (64). The victory also earned Thompson a place in the British Open at Royal Troon (Scotland)for ten days.
Thompson has been playing very solid golf for a while and has been fighting for victory for weeks. He had success on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2022. He also became Number One in the amateur world. This Sunday he was rewarded with an even bigger prize: breaking the record for victories on the PGA Tour.
