Sepp Straka put the golf world on 59 watch before coming up short of the magic number, but his 9–under 62 proved to be enough for a two-shot win at the John Deere Classic on Sunday, July 9, in Silvis, Ill.
Straka was 11 under par through 14 holes at the par-71 TPC Deere Run before he ran out of steam, settling for three straight pars before putting his second shot at the par-4 18th hole into the water, leading to a double bogey.
