Davis Thompson carded a bogey-free 62 on Saturday to reach 21-under and take a two-shot lead into the final day at the John Deere Classic.<\/p>\n
“Got off to a good start. Was in a little trouble on 5, but to make that bunker shot and keep it going, that was great.<\/p>\n
“On 6 I hit a tree. It kicked back out on the fairway and made birdie. It could have gone the other way. I guess it was just my day today. Hit a lot of good shots on the back nine and finished the round off well. Yeah, it was good.”<\/p>\n
The 62 matches his career-low score from round one of the 2023 American Express. Thompson is seeking his first win in his 63rd start and has held the 54-hole lead\/co-lead on Tour once before again at the 2023 American Express where he finished second.<\/p>\n
“I’m sure I’ll have a number in my mind tomorrow once I look at the conditions and hole locations,” said Thompson. “My goal tomorrow is just hit the first tee shot on 1 and then the second shot and third shot and just stack good shots on top of each other.”<\/p>\n
