Moving Day at the 2025 John Deere Classic featured some chaos as there were eight players tied for the lead at one point as gusty winds made it difficult to score. However, as the final groups made their way around TPC Deere Run,

Thompson made a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole Saturday, giving him a 4-under 67 on a much tougher golf course and a one-shot lead at TPC Deere Run.

Davis Thompson, who secured his first PGA Tour victory at this very event last year, fired an 8-under 63 to join a tie with Brian Campbell for the clubhouse lead at 11 under early Friday afternoon, one shot ahead of Camilo Villegas. The 26-year-old from Atlanta went bogey-free with eight birdies.
