AMERICAN Davis Thompson fired nine birdies in a third round 62 to take a two-shot lead into the final day of the John Deere Classic.
Soft conditions on the TPC Deere Run in Illinois continued to bring low scores, Thompson moving to 21-under-par – two clear of England’s Aaron Rai and fellow American Eric Cole.
“I guess it was just my day today,” said Thompson, who is seeking his first PGA Tour victory.
