Stricker wins John Deere Classic

July 12, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Madison's Steve Stricker played 36 holes of excellent golf on Sunday to capture the PGA Tour's John Deere Classic. 

After a 3-under par 68 in round 3 to start the day, Stricker finished with a 7-under par 64, good for his second win on the PGA Tour this year and the sixth overall.  Stricker also has momentum heading into this week's British Open. 

Stricker's 20-under par total was 3-shots better than Zach Johnson, Brandt Snedeker and Brett Quigley, who all finished at 17-under par.  Quiqley's total earned him a spot in this week's British Open. 

Stricker started the day three shots off the lead after moving into second place on Saturday with a 10-under par 61, which tied the course record set by fellow Wisconsin native J.P. Hayes, who won the 2002 title. 

His best shot camme on the par-4 6th hole in the final round, when his 98-yard approach shot spun back into the hole for an eagle.
