One of the stars of last year's major season is thriving early at TPC Deere Run
The first round of the John Deere Classic was what we thought it was. A couple of golfers made mini runs at 59, everybody in the top 10 shot 5 under or better, and if you shot over par, you're at least 10 back and nowhere near the top 100 after Round 1.
Jonas Blixt leads the way following a saucy 62. After going out in 33, he came home with no fours on the second nine and shot 29 to touch off the 9-under score. Blixt has a bit of company near the top, particularly with a potential U.S. Ryder Cupper, but will start the second round with a lead.
There are some interesting contenders to touch on and a few who are just a bit beyond the top of the leaderboard to keep an eye on. Let's take a look at both as we recap Round 1 and look ahead to what the next 54 holes hold.
