John Deere Classic Pro-Am winners
As you know, it’s John Deere Classic week. That means a bunch of superintendents and Deere distributors have converged on Silvis, Ill., and the Quad Cities to enjoy some great golf.
The first place team at the John Deere Classic Pro-Am went LOW with a score of 52. They were two shots better than the next-best team.
So congrats to (left to right) Zach Moore of Stotz Equipment, Scott Dey, superintendent, Mission Viejo Country Club, Ryan McCavitt, director of agronomy, Metamorra Fields, and Alex Sayago, John Deere. How much golf have you guys been playing these last few weeks?
