Thompson Grabs Lead in Repeat Bid at PGA's John Deere Classic
- On July 5, 2025, Davis Thompson led the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, with a one-shot lead after the third round.
- Thompson’s lead followed a 4-under 67 on a tougher course that broke a logjam involving 10 tied players, with tee times moved up due to afternoon storms.
- Four players including Max Homa, Emiliano Grillo, Campbell, and David Lipsky stayed within one stroke of Thompson at 14-under, while amateur Jackson Koivun was four shots behind.
- Thompson said he was happy with his momentum, while Homa looked forward to the morning’s butterflies and first tee shot, and Kuchar noted a fun Sunday with many in contention.
- Thompson aims to become the first back-to-back winner at the event since Steve Stricker’s three consecutive victories from 2009 to 2011, and a win would place him atop the British Open alternate list.
