One more event in the United States remains before the PGA Tour turns its attention to the Open Championship
On the heels of a thrilling Rocket Mortgage Classic last weekend that ended with Rickie Fowler beating Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin in a playoff, the PGA Tour is right back at it this weekend with a Scottish sendoff at TPC Deere Run as the Quad Cities shine in another playing of the John Deere Classic.
Though Open Championship qualifying is no longer one of the many storylines to follow at this tournament, there are still several intriguing ones abound. Young stars will be looking at more chances at grabbing an early win, veterans will try to grind out a tough one in some of the easiest scoring conditions on the PGA Tour all year and everyone will be eyeing big moves in the FedEx Cup standings as the playoffs loom.
We'll get to some of those young (and young-ish) stars below as several are among the favorites to win the tournament. Regardless of who does end up winning, we know scores will be preposterous. In the last 13 editions of this tournament, the worst winning score was 18 under by Bryson DeChambeau in 2017. That's not likely to change this time around.
