Austria\u0027s Sepp Straka won the John Deere Classic on Sunday with a final\u002Dround 9\u002Dunder 62 that could have been much better.
At that point, Straka was 11 under for the day and 23 under for the tournament, needing to play the final four holes in 1 under to shoot a 59. Paul Goydos shot golf’s magic number in the first round in 2010 at TPC Deere Run
Straka made routine pars on Nos. 15 and 16 and failed to get up-and-down from a greenside bunker on the par-5 17th, missing a nine-footer for birdie. On the par-4 18th, he hooked his approach from 181 yards into the pond next to the green, leading to a double-bogey and a 21-under 263 total.Article content“I hit the ball really solid, but I just pulled it way left of my target,” Straka said. “So, yeah, it was an unfortunate time for a bad swing, but thankfully it didn’t hurt me.”.
Smalley was 19 under after his birdie on No. 14, but three-putted for par on the 17th. Both players needed to hole their approaches on the 18th and neither came close. They finished at 19 under. “I didn’t look at all and that was my plan,” Smalley said. “If it wasn’t enough, then it wasn’t enough and Sepp deserves to win with a 62. That’s incredible playing.”
