The 2022 John Deere Classic feels like it’s J.T. Poston’s to lose, after the 29-year-old has played his way into a 3-shot lead through 54 holes. Behind him is a three-way tie at 16 under between Scott Stallings, Emiliano Grillo and Denny McCarthy.
Poston is a one-time Tour-winner who torched TPC Deere Run earlier this week with an opening 62. Stallings has bagged three Tour victories in his career and Grillo has even won once during his rookie year back in 2015. It’s McCarthy who has never won on Tour, even if he’s been the man in contention lately.
It was McCarthy who hung around very late into the U.S. Open at Brookline a couple weeks ago, finishing T7, and at the Memorial tournament two weeks before that, finishing T5. A win for him Sunday would earn him a berth in the 2023 Masters, his first time competing at Augusta National. It would also bring in his biggest career payday.
Sunday’s winner will come away with $1.28 million of the $7.1 million total purse, while second place will clear just under a million, at $773,900. Check out the complete purse breakdown for the entire field below.
