John Deere Classic Second-Round Tee Times – Hayden Springer parlayed a front-nine 27 into the 13th sub-60 round in Tour history. That’s a 4th of July that the PGA Tour rookie won’t soon forget. In most instances, a golfer can run away and hide after opening with a 59, but not at TPC Deere Run. The course played soft with a good amount of rain in the area over the past 48 hours. For the day, the course played 2.92 shots under par, and Springer’s lead is only two strokes.
With birdies available for the taking, this event is still wide open.

TPC Deere Run is situated on the Illinois side of the Illinois/Iowa border, running along the Mississippi River. The course has wide sloping fairways, bentgrass greens, and many elevation changes and doglegs. It’s a course where strategic play is more important than power, and players who manage their way around the course effectively can score well. Winners of the last 14 tournaments have all scored 18-under or better, so recent strong performances at low-scoring events like the Travelers and Rocket Mortgage could indicate potential contenders for this week’s tournament.
This public par-71 course measures 7,289 yards and features three par-5s, four par-3s, and 11 par-4s. The longer and more challenging par-3s make scoring difficult. Eight of the par-4s are less than 445 yards, and all three par-5s are in the 550-600-yard range, making them reachable in two shots. The Birdie or Better rate is almost 44% on these par-5s, which favors shorter hitters.
Despite its generous and forgiving fairways, TPC Deere Run is not a course where long hitters have a significant advantage. The course is lined with trees but is not overly tight. The best strategy for many holes is to play it safe and avoid trouble areas. Straying from the fairways can be costly due to thick penal rough, strategic fairway bunkering, and uneven lies caused by creative mounding. The numerous doglegs also favor players who can shape the ball off the tee.
Finding the fairway off the tee is crucial, as approach shots from the fairway have an average proximity to the hole of 29.5 feet, while approach shots from the rough average 46.7 feet. This “Rough Penalty” margin of 17.8% is one of the largest on Tour. With a high percentage of greens in regulation and most approaches being wedges into soft greens, putting becomes crucial. Consistently making 5-15 foot putts is essential for success at this course.
