Homa started his campaign for the final round of the John Deere Classic on the first tee hole and made three back-to-back birdies on the second, third, and fourth holes. He struggled on the next hole and made bogey on the fifth and then on the ninth.

On the back nine, the American golfer carded two birdies and a bogey for a round of 2-under 69. With that, he settled for a total of 16-under, in a tie for fifth with Matt Kuchar, Kurt Kitayama, Jacob Bridgeman, Carson Young, and Lucas Glover. Brian Campbell won the event after defeating Emiliano Grillo in a playoff.
