Ricky Fouler and Max Homa are the best -like players on the PGA Tour, but their results have not come close to matching their popularity.
There is no guarantee of entering your home stretch with a regular season and playoffs, Fauler and Homa are playing a tournament that they do not always play, John Dere Classic, which begins in Silvis, Il on Thursday.
Founder has been making its first appearance in TPC Dere Run since 2010. He said he was always going to choose between John Dere Classic or next week’s Genesis Scottish Open; He is not doing his schedule with both. Playing three weeks in a row and then leaving Scottish felt like “a better flow”, Fauler said.
Nevertheless, Fauler would agree that they need to start their maximum, wherever they can come, to qualify for Fedex Cup playoffs. After recalling the cut last week in the rocket classic, the fauler sits at number 72 in the points standing; Tops qualify for 70 playoffs.
“Looks like (I) trending at the right time, taking away last week,” said Fauler. “Outside him, I think I (I) are watching a lot of positive. And, yes, as I said, are going in the right direction over time.
“Yes, just got to keep it simple: go out and have fun and play golf.”
It is more severe for Hama, rank as number 5 in the world two years ago after winning six tournaments between 2019-23. Homa in the Masters is the only top -25 finish of the T12 season, and he missed the seven cuts, leaving him 122nd in the Fedex Cup race.
Homa last played the role of John Dere in 2017 and is bending to his peers for advice.
Homa said, “played nine holes with Jason Day (on Tuesday). We talked about a lot of things.” “He is always a breath of fresh air here. He is a treasure of knowledge. Justin Thomas has been like the greatest friend, whom you can ever ask through all this. Kolin Morikewa too. Just talks to me all the time. In his closed weeks, he will check for me, he really gives him a lot of respect.
Ben Griffin (No. 17), Sungje Im (No. 25) of South Korea and Australian Day (No. 28) are the world’s only top-40 players to compete on Par-71, 7,289-yard track this week. Recent champions Davis Thompson (2024), Jetty Poston (2022) and Lucas Glover (2021) will try to re -find the magic of their respective victory.
Thompson set the tournament scoring record 28-under-Barbar 256 last year, which was good for a four-stroke win.
In the last week’s rocket classic, South African 20 -year -old Aldrich won by Potgiator, Thompson again showed his capacity in a low number of cards. Thompson achieved a rare achievement of making three eagles in a nine-hole stretch in the third round.
Nevertheless, he finished the tournament nine stroke at a speed, and a similar low scoring situation could be in deere run this week.
Thompson said, “I think I am starting to run the ball better and kill Put more online and just working on my reids.” “Yes, just working on the mental side of just things is not trying to impress me and just be positive throughout the round.”
