PGA Tour Announced Unfortunate News About Golfer at John Deere Classic
PGA Tour Announced Unfortunate News About Golfer at John Deere Classic originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2025 John Deere Classic teed off Thursday at TPC Deere Run. The first round saw Doug Ghim take an early lead after a scorching round of 62 (‑9), with Austin Eckroat and Max Homa close behind at 63 (‑8). Advertisement Four golfers — including David Lipsky, Sam Stevens, Justin Lower and Michael Kim — were tied for fourth at 64 (‑7), as the leaderboard began to take shape. However, early on Friday, before the second round could begin, the PGA Tour announced unfortunate news about 40-year-old golfer Nicholas Lindheim. 'Nicholas Lindheim (back injury) is a WD [withdrawn] prior to the second round of the John Deere Classic,' the tour posted on X.

He carded a 75 (+4) in Thursday's opening round and it was very much possible that he would miss the cut if he didn't improve his score on Friday. His round included a front‑nine 37 and back‑nine 38. Advertisement The back injury was significant enough for him to withdraw before teeing off in round two. Homa started strong and if he continues with this momentum, the John Deere Classic could very well become his first trophy in 2025. This year has been unforgiving to the $28 million star who, in the 16 events played, made the cut in only eight. And out of those eight, in only one did he finish in the top 25. "I just did everything really solid. I made a ton of putts. Kept the driver in good spots. Got to take advantage of my iron play, my wedge play." Homa said in the press conference on Thursday. "So, just always for me this season started from the tee, and it was plenty good enough today. The rest of my game I think got [to] show how it's felt the last few months without any good results. Advertisement "Always feels good to get off to a good start when you're struggling, that's for sure."

PGA Tour Golf History Made During the John Deere Classic on Thursday
PGA Tour Golf History Made During the John Deere Classic on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The John Deere Classic is underway at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, and Thursday's opening round delivered notably right from the start. Doug Ghim led the charge with a brilliant, bogey-free 9-under 62, putting himself in prime position to chase his first PGA Tour victory. Advertisement Ghim, who has 160 starts under his belt in six years on Tour, holed out for an eagle on the par-4 sixth and hit fairways with precision. Max Homa and Austin Eckroat share the second spot in the Classic after round 1. The standout headline from round 1 wasn't just Ghim's performance, it was the record-breaking number of eagles. A total of 33 eagles were recorded on Thursday, the most in a single round at TPC Deere Run since the tournament moved there in 2000. Doug Ghim during the second round of the Valero Texas Open golf Dunn-Imagn Images The previous high was 26 in the opening round of 2024. Scoring conditions were ideal, and the players took full advantage. Eckroat contributed two of those eagles, including a hole-out from 137 yards on the par-4 fifth. Advertisement With the course playing soft and fair, low numbers were everywhere. Fourteen players shot 65 or better in the morning wave alone. Among them was Rickie Fowler, who turned in a front-nine 29 on his way to a 65. Meanwhile, 2018 champion Michael Kim and Sam Stevens both posted 64s, keeping themselves in early contention. Kim, who once struggled enough to return to the Korn Ferry Tour, now has a shot at playing all four majors in a year for the first time. As the championship unfolds, fans can expect more drama and possibly more records. After all, the John Deere Classic has produced more first-time winners than any other PGA Tour event since 1970.
