SILVIS - Davis Thompson (1st/-15) is seeking his second PGA TOUR title in his 90th start (2024 John Deere Classic) at age (today: 26 years, 1 month, 1 day). He would become the first winner since K.H. Lee (THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in 2021 and 2022) to earn first two wins at the same event (back-to-back).
Thompson could become the second player to successfully defend a title on TOUR this season (Scottie Scheffler/the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday) and could become the first repeat winner at the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker won three in a row from 2009-11
Notes:
Max Homa (T2/-14) is seeking his seventh PGA TOUR title in his 215th start. His age today: 34 years, 7 months, 17 days. Homa owns PGA TOUR six wins: 2019 Truist Championship, 2021 The Genesis Invitational, 2021 Procore Championship, 2022 Truist Championship, 2022 Procore Championship, 2023 Farmers Insurance Open
Five of his six victories have come when trailing through three rounds
