Firstly it was great to see Rickie Fowler back in the winners circle, it can only be good for golf to see him back challenging again and even better that we tipped him. This week sees the PGA Tour hit the Midwest in Western Illinois and the return of the John Deere Classic, which has been played at the TPC Deere Run Championship course since 2000.
The rolling terrain and wooded ravines were the perfect arena for ex PGA touring professional, DA Weibring to design this beautiful track and with the wooded areas of this former Arabian horse farm sitting next to the Rock River, it’s easy to see why Golf Digest ranked this course at No 42 in the US 100 greatest public golf courses.
