The excitement is palpable at TPC Deere Run as the PGA TOUR continues the John Deere Classic. It has been a weekend of high stakes, incredible skill, and unpredictable weather that has kept fans and players on their toes.
Weather Disruptions Shake Up the Schedule
Nature decided to play a role in this year’s tournament. The third round faced significant interruptions due to inclement weather and lightning strikes, leading to multiple suspensions. To ensure player safety and maintain the pace of play, officials restructured the Round 3 starting times, implementing a dual tee start from holes 1 and 10.
