Max Homa Shares Honest Take Amid John Deere Classic originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Moving Day at the 2025 John Deere Classic saw a familiar face surge toward contention as Max Homa carded a 3‑under 68 on Saturday at TPC Deere Run. Advertisement His third‑round effort, following an opening 63 and a 68 in the second round, moved him to 14‑under par through 54 holes, in a tie for second place and just one stroke off the lead heading into Sunday's final round. After his performance on Saturday, a reporter asked, "Just how much fun are you having out there right now?" noting Homa's seemingly calm and relaxed demeanour. "I'm trying my best. It's a hard thing for me. I don't typically have tons of fun on the golf course, but it's been a very big point of emphasis this week to just enjoy whatever it is because I have a really cool job," Homa said. "I know I'm doing everything I can to get better at this, and I guess that's all I could ever ask myself. So the rest should just be enjoyable. So I'm trying my best to make it enjoyable." Advertisement A Burbank, California, native, Homa turned professional in 2013 after a standout amateur career at the University of California, Berkeley, where he won the 2013 NCAA individual championship. On the PGA Tour, Homa has captured six victories, including two Wells Fargo Championships (2019, 2022), two Fortinet Championships (2021, 2022), the Genesis Invitational (2021) and the Farmers Insurance Open (2023). He has appeared on the U.S. Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams and in 2024, enjoyed his highest major finish: T3 at the Masters. Homa's surge at Silvis marks his best 54‑hole position this season and a shot at his first PGA Tour win since 2023.

Aldrich Potgieter withdraws after third round John Deere Classic
Aldrich Potgieter began Saturday's third round of the John Deere Classic just three shots off the lead. He won't even play Sunday. Potgieter, who notched his maiden PGA Tour victory last Sunday at the Rocket Classic, carded a 5-over 76 to plummet to 4 under, which tied him for 58th at the time. About two hours later, however, the 20-year-old South African withdrew from the tournament. A reason was not provided by Potgieter or PGA Tour officials. He is listed in next week's field for the Genesis Scottish Open, which will mark his third straight start but only his fourth since late May as Potgieter took four weeks off – he said the break was to recharge and fit some new equipment – following the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial. Also, Potgieter is not currently qualified for The Open, though at No. 49 in the Official World Golf Ranking, he could get in via the reserve list, which is based off of Monday's world-ranking update.
