We are on to the weekend at the 30th of 36 regular-season FedEx Cup tournaments on the PGA Tour’s 2025 slate.
The 2025 John Deere Classic started on Thursday in Silvis, Illinois, and with 36 holes in the books, it’s time for the third round at TPC Deere Run.
A year ago, Davis Thompson won the event for his first PGA Tour victory. He was the 24th golfer to make the JDC his first PGA Tour win. He is in contention once again at TPC Deere Run, tied for second, a shot back, in his effort to defend his title.
Last week’s winner, Aldrich Potgieter, is just three shots off the lead after he shot 66 on Friday.
