An all-American contest is set to headline the final round of the John Deere Classic, with Lucas Glover and Lee Hodges sharing the lead after an eventful third round at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois.
Glover carded a two-under 69, highlighted by an early eagle and a late birdie, while Hodges produced a steady four-under 67 to climb into a tie at 16-under-par. Their performances leave them one stroke clear of a tightly packed chasing group heading into Sunday’s title decider.
The leaderboard remains one of the most congested on the PGA Tour this season, with several players still in contention for the trophy. Veterans and rising stars alike remain within striking distance, promising an exciting finish where a low final-round score could prove decisive.
For Glover, a former U.S. Open champion, victory would mark another significant milestone in his late-career resurgence and add to his impressive record at TPC Deere Run. Hodges, meanwhile, is chasing another PGA Tour title after producing a composed display to match Glover at the summit.
The winner will not only lift the John Deere Classic trophy but also earn valuable FedExCup points and momentum ahead of the upcoming Scottish Open and The Open Championship. With so many players separated by only a handful of shots, the stage is set for a dramatic finale in Illinois.
