JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

LOCATION: Silvis, Illinois (today-Sun). COURSE: TPC Deere Run (7,268 yards, 6,646 metres, par 72). PURSE: $5.8 million. Winner’s share: $1.008m.

IRISH IN ACTION: Seamus Power. LAST YEAR: Bryson DeChambeau carded four birdies in his final six holes to win a maiden PGA Tour title.

LAST WEEK: Seven birdies in his final round at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier saw Kevin Na secure a five-shot win.

NOTES: The course, crafted by DA Weibring in 1999, is considered one of the easiest that PGA Tour competitors face all season so expect to see low scoring. Paul Goydos opened with a 59 in 2010, while Steve Stricker carded 60 on the same day before finishing at 26 under par.
