The 29-year-old, vying for a first PGA TOUR title in 131 events, ends on a sour note with four birdies against four bogeys, including a walk-off, 3-putt bogey at the last (from 39'9"), but does notch his third top 10 in his last four starts. On 10 (of 14) fairways and 12 greens in regulation, he gained 0.691 strokes around but lost ground in each of the other SG sub-categories, lowlighted by a -1.710 SG: Putting. This was the UVA alum’s fourth Deere and second payday (T34/2018), his fifth top 10 of the season in 25 events, which is a new career high, previously four in 2020 (in 23 events), and is not in the published field at either of the two events scheduled for this coming week. For the festivities, he posted rounds of 66-65-66-71, was the only player with multiple bogey-free laps (R2/R3), and ranked 9th SG: Tee-to-Green (8.143) and 30th SGP (2.524).
