He maintained a three-shot margin over his pursuers

In second position was the Argentine Emiliano Grillo

At the head of the tournament from the first day to the last, the American JT Poston finished this Sunday his clear dominance in the John Deere Classic and took the title with the Argentinian Emiliano Grillo tied for second with the South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

Poston, who last week came close to winning the Travelers Championship (in the end his compatriot Xander Schauffele won), was able to sing victory at the John Deere Classic with a card on Sunday of -2 (four birdies and two bogeys) and a -21 in total.

The American had reached the last day with three strokes ahead of his pursuers and he knew how to preserve that margin until the end.

For its part, Grillo achieved a -2 this Sunday (four birdies and two bogeys) with which he closed his stupendous participation in the tournament with -18 in total.

Bezuidenhout squeezed the last day with a great -5 (five birdies without bogeys) but, like Grillo, he was left with a total of -18 that placed him three shots behind the champion.

At the TPC Deere Run, in the community of Silvis (Illinois, USA), another Argentinean also participated, Fabián Gómezwho signed a very creditable -5 on the last day to finish with -8 in total.

The John Deere Classic has been held on the same days as the LIV Golf, the controversial new league financed by the government of Saudi Arabiahas held the Portland Invitational in Portland (USA).
