Steve Stricker won a third straight John Deere Classic in dramatic fashion. Stricker sank a birdie putt from off the fringe on the 18th and final hole to win by one shot over runner up Kyle Stanley.
Stricker’s winning putt cam just moments after he got to within range by using a six iron out of a fairway bunker and completed a birdie-birdie finish that saw him get to within range by getting a birdie at the 17th hole as well.
Stanley took the lead into the final hole but missed a pair putt on the 18th that opened the door for Stricker who finished with a final round of 69 and was 22 under for the tournament.
