The continues.
For the third straight year, a player who rented the same house near TPC Deere Run won the John Deere Classic. After J.T. Poston and Sepp Straka each won the last two years, this time it was Davis Thompson's turn, winning for the first time on the PGA Tour after shooting 62-64 on the weekend to end at 28-under-par 256 total. It was a tournament scoring record.
Thompson earned an exemption into the British Open in two weeks and took home the $1.44 million winner's check from the overall $8 million purse. Amateur Luke Clanton, from Florida State, shot a final-round 63 to tie for second place and become the first amateur since 1958 to record back-to-back top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour. Michael Thorbjornsen and C.T. Pan tied Clanton in second place, four shots behind Thompson. Pan also earned an exemption into the British Open at Royal Troon, as he was ranked higher in the Official World Ranking among the group tied for second.
