Ghim Holes Out From Fairway Again at Deere for First 36-Hole Lead on PGA Tour
- For the second consecutive day, Doug Ghim made an eagle from the fairway, carding a 3-under 68 to claim a one-shot lead at the John Deere Classic in Silvis.
- Ghim achieved this after not holing out from the fairway for a couple of years, calling back-to-back hole outs "always nice" while noting the leaderboard remains tightly bunched.
- The tournament is highly competitive with 12 players separated by only two strokes going into the third round, including defending champion Davis Thompson and players like Camilo Villegas and Si Woo Kim.
- Ghim stated he does not feel like he is in the lead yet and expects the winner to be in the 20-under par range, adding he is happy to be teeing off late in contention on Saturday amid rain-delayed earlier start times.
- This marks Ghim's first 36-hole PGA Tour lead in his six years, suggesting he could contend further in a tournament known for producing many first-time winners since 1970.
