Doug Ghim sets pace at John Deere Classic with a 62 and the early lead
- Doug Ghim opened with a bogey-free 9-under 62 to claim the early lead at the 2025 John Deere Classic in Illinois.
- Ghim, a six-year PGA Tour pro with 160 starts, is bidding to become the tournament's latest first-time winner after entering outside the FedExCup top 120.
- Max Homa and Austin Eckroat each shot a 63 to lie one shot behind Ghim, with Homa posting his best 2025 round and Eckroat eagling twice early.
- Ghim remarked that reaching 20 under par or lower usually puts a player in a strong position, though he was uncertain if his lead would remain until the end.
- The strong scoring reflects ideal conditions and a deep field where 18 players scored 65 or better, suggesting a competitive tournament ahead.
