There is so much at stake for the golfers who are set to tee it up on Sunday at the TPC Deere Run. The athletes will, consequently, hope to dish out their best while hoping to clinch the title of champ. Jordan Spieth will also look to emerge victorious, just like he did back in 2013 and 2015.
A bleak yet hopeful picture for Jordan Spieth at the John Deere Classic
The 30-year-old is currently placed at T12, tied with eight other golfers, including the likes of Ben Griffin and Harry Hall. He pushed past many in the field to rise up the standings after placing T47 on Friday while making the cut. If fortune really does favor the American Pro, then a scintillating performance on his part, coupled with a few bad shots by the board toppers, might end up seeing him lift the trophy.

While it does sound hopeful for the golfer, one thing is for sure: Spieth has a long hill to climb on Sunday if he is to clinch his third victory at the John Deere Classic and his 14th PGA Tour win. The athlete will need to dish out an even better performance than the ones he has been showcasing over the last three days: a 14-under overall with figures of 69-67-63.
