Austria's Sepp Straka took the title at the John Deere Classic in an electrifying finish. Straka closed the tournament with the best fourth round of all (-9) to finish with -21 and win his second PGA Tour title.
Straka began the final round of the John Deere Classic in T14, four strokes behind the leader. However, he managed to show his best game on the last day, and with nine birdies (with a streak of four in a row) and an eagle, he settled the title discussion.
He went back a little on the 18th hole, where he committed a double bogey that included a penalty stroke. But his lead was already so wide that his closest competitors had practically no chance to take advantage of the champion's single slip.
Second place at the John Deere Classic went to Brendon Todd and Alex Smalley, both with a score of -19. It was an excellent tournament for both players, who even led at times.
In T4 finished Adam Schenk and the 'rookie sensation', Ludvig Aberg (again in the spotlight). Aberg had the second-best fourth round (-8) in a bogey-free day, with six birdies and an eagle. It is by far the best result of his young professional career.
American Schenk also stood out for his solid play. Suffice it to say that he remained in the 60s for all four rounds of the John Deere Classic.
