If you are a fan of low-scoring, weak-field "birdie-fests", the John Deere Classic should be a perfect cap to the past two weeks. Not that anyone should be complaining, as the previous two events have both ended with scintillating "edge-of-your-seat" playoff dramas. Two weeks ago, Harris English went eight holes deep to secure his second win of the season. At this past week's Rocket Mortgage Classic, it was Cameron Davis's turn, as he finished off a remarkable tournament-tying eagle from the bunker with a five-hole playoff victory over Troy Merritt and Joaquin Niemann. With an even weaker field at this week's tournament, another packed leaderboard and potential Sunday playoff would not surprise.
