This Week: John Deere Classic
Jonathan Byrd fired a final-round 66, one of four rounds in the 60s to win the 2007 John Deere Classic by one stroke over Tim Clark. The victory was Byrd’s third since he joined the PGA TOUR in 2002. Byrd won his first tournament—the Buick Challenge—in 2002, followed by the 2004 B.C. Open. The Illinois victory gave Byrd three wins while in his 20s. Byrd turned 30 in January. This season, Byrd has enjoyed two top-10 finishes—at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship (tied for ninth) and the AT&T Classic (fourth). He is 71st in the FedExCup standings and 72nd on the money list.
