Davis Thompson became the 24th first-time PGA Tour winner at the John Deere Classic. He finished at 28-under to set the 72-hole scoring record at TPC Deere Run.

The past two events saw him finish T9 at the U.S. Open and T2 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. He shot a final-round 7-under 64 to win by four shots over C.T. Pan, Michael Thorbjornsen and amateur standout Luke Clanton.

Thompson came into Sunday with a two-shot lead. From his opening tee shot, the former Georgia Bulldog pressed down the accelerator and went nuclear. He made five birdies in his first six holes and over 120 feet of putts.

The 25-year-old put on a clinic as he gained +18 shots on the field in strokes gained total.

With an $8 million purse, Thompson took home $1,440,000 and earned 500 FedEx Cup points. He moved from No. 51 to No. 22 in the FedEx Cup playoff standings.

Pan and Thorbjornsen each took home $712,000. Since Clanton is an amateur, he did not earn anything. Hayden Springer, or Mr. 59, finished T7 and went home with $252,500.

Let’s break down the rest of the field to see how much each player made at the John Deere Classic.
