John Deere Classic Tips

John Deere Classic - TPC Deere Run, Silvis, IL

13 July 2017 - 16 July 2017

Tip date: 10 July 2017

TPC Deere Run is this week’s venue for the John Deere Classic in Illinois. The course is a very easy resort-style set-up which offers no real challenge to the pros. At least -20 is needed to win and Paul Goydos shot a 59 in 2010. It measures 7268 yards and is a par 71. The 18th is a tricky par 4 with water very much in play. It’s a pretty weak field as normal with Ryan Moore winning in 2016.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Johnson Wagner	2pt each way 66-1	Bet365	Finishing position: MC Back Johnson Wagner Again
We’re backing the enigma that is Johnson Wagner this week. He’s quietly amassed three tour wins and he’s playing some good stuff at the moment. He’s also posted three straight top 10s at Deere Run. Well worth an each way punt.
Steve Stricker	2pt each way 22-1	Bet365	Finishing position: T5 Back Steve Stricker Again
Steve might be knocking on a bit but he can still mix it at the top table in golf. The John Deere Classic isn’t the top table. He’s won it three times and had numerous other high finishes. Slightly mingy odds but we think he can win it again.
Zach Johnson	2pt each way 25-1	Bet365	Finishing position: T5 Back Zach Johnson Again
Local lad Zach Johnson has had a pretty ordinary season but if he can get firing somewhere then it will surely be Deere Run. His record in Illinios is absolutely first class. Six top three’s in the last eight years speaks for itself. We’re happy to gobble up this early price.
