Thursday Night Recap - John Deere Classic
Hello members,
Week three of the birdie-fest has begun. Scores were low today, as expected. Course was prime for birdies and lower. Jonas Blixt shot 9-under 62 and leads by two strokes over solo second Grayson Murray. Blixt’s round included not one, but two Eagles, so that’s always good. And, one of his Eagles was on the short Par 4 14th. Hit his drive on the green and made the putt, just that simple, eh?
One Putts pick this week, Adam Schenk, is T3 at 6-under. His Vegas odds are currently +900, just behind Cameron Young at +500. Young shot 6-under, also.
The U.S. Women’s Open is under way and currently in progress. Rose Zhang is on the back nine and is just a few shots back from the leader at this moment, Xiyu Janet Lin.
Last week, Jonas Blixt missed the cut by three shots on the @KornFerryTour.
He currently leads by three after tying his career low round @JDCLASSIC.
Golf.

Weather
Another good day tomorrow. Some sun and clouds with a high of 79 and low of 61. Great weather for birdies.
Updated Betting Odds
My pre-tournament picks:
Denny McCarthy - +2000 - 3-under 68. Not bad but need some more birdies to get more in contention.
Adam Schenk - +900 - great start and currently T3. Only three shots back.
Eric Cole - +5000 - 2-under 69. Seven strokes behind the leader. Need some birdies tomorrow.

The leader of the U.S. Open at Pebble had this happen to her clubs on Monday ... making chicken salad out of the situation thus far
