There has been some fabulous golf on display at the John Deere Classic so far this week.

Sunday at TPC Deere Run should provide plenty of exciting entertainment, with 18 players within five strokes of the lead.

The John Deere Classic may not attract the very best golfers in the world, but it always ends up being a really intriguing golf tournament.

Lucas Glover will be hoping to get back inside the winners’ circle at the John Deere Classic, while the likes of Doug Ghim and Zac Blair will be looking to win for the first time on the PGA Tour.

There will definitely be some low scores at TPC Deere Run on Sunday, with a race to the finish line set to start on Sunday afternoon.

Doug Ghim achieves feat not seen on the PGA Tour since 2014 at the John Deere

Doug Ghim is nicely placed after three rounds of the John Deere Classic.

Ghim is 14-under par for three rounds, and is sitting two strokes adrift of the leaders with 18 holes left to play at TPC Deere Run.

He is looking for his first PGA Tour win in what is his 186th start this week in Silvis, Illinois.

And Ghim should have a good chance of finally getting over the line if he maintains the form he has shown so far this week.

The 30-year-old put on a ball-striking clinic on day three at TPC Deere Run. He hit every single fairway and every single green during his round – the first time that has been done on the PGA Tour since 2014.

He also became only the 10th player since 1983 to hit every fairway and green in multiple rounds on the PGA Tour.

Doug Ghim needs to go super-low to win the John Deere Classic

If Ghim’s putter heats up on Sunday, he may well finally get his first PGA Tour win.

The biggest problem he faces is not the fact that he trails by two heading into Sunday.

It is actually the fact that there are five players ahead of him on the leaderboard.

You would imagine that at least one of those players will shoot a low score.

So that means that Doug Ghim will need to go super-low on Sunday if he is to win the John Deere Classic.
