TPC Deere Run is a picturesque birdie haven.
Jul. 5, 2011
TPC Deere Run, the D.A. Weibring-designed home to the John Deere Classic, yielded a scoring average below 70 last year and a 59, by Paul Goydos. Who knows whether there will be another magical sub-60 number this week, but truckloads of birdies are a guarantee.
