Thanks very much for tuning in for our live text coverage of the John Deere Classic!

THOMPSON POSTS NEW TOURNAMENT RECORD AS HE WINS THE JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

It’s a stress free, stunning final round from Davis Thompson as he wins the John Deere Classic for his maiden PGA Tour victory.

Not only does he claim his first tour title, but he also steals the tournament scoring record at -28 – beating Michael Kim’s record of -27 from 2018!
