Sepp Straka Wins John Deere Classic After Missing Out On 59

Sepp Straka smiles

At the John Deere Classic, Sepp Straka nearly made history by almost becoming the 12th player to shoot a 59 on the PGA Tour. Standing on the 18th tee, he would need a birdie for the magical number but, on impact, the Austrian knew he had pulled his shot left into the water.

Failing to make an up-and-down, the 30-year-old carded a final round 62 to sit at 21-under-par, with many players still out on the course at TPC Deere Run. Obviously, he would have to hang around but, after no-one could get close to his clubhouse total, the trophy was Straka's, who secured a second PGA Tour title.
