Thompson Grabs Lead in Repeat Bid at PGA's John Deere Classic

SILVIS, ILLINOIS, JUL 5 – Davis Thompson leads with a 15-under total after a 10-foot birdie putt, aiming to be the first to win back-to-back John Deere Classics since Steve Stricker.

  • Davis Thompson took a one-shot lead at 15-under par after shooting a 4-under 67 in the third round of the 2025 John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois on July 5.
  • The challenging conditions with firmer greens and windy weather, alongside tee times moved up to avoid afternoon storms, made scoring tougher for a crowded leaderboard.
  • A total of thirteen golfers remained no more than four strokes behind the leader, with Max Homa, Emiliano Grillo, David Lipsky, and Brian Campbell just a single shot back after posting 68s, while Doug Ghim slipped out of contention following a 74.
  • Thompson missed an eagle putt at the 17th but closed with a 10-foot birdie on 18, aiming to become the first repeat champion since Steve Stricker's three consecutive wins from 2009 to 2011.
  • The final round on July 6 will decide if Thompson can secure a second consecutive win, which would boost his world ranking and increase his chances of qualifying for the British Open.
