John Deere Classic: Brian Campbell wins second PGA Tour title after defeating Emiliano Grillo in playoff

John Deere Classic Final Leaderboard: Brian Campbell captures a second PGA Tour title of the season following playoff victory over Emiliano Grillo at TPC Deere Run.

Brian Campbell won his second title of the 2025 PGA Tour season with playoff victory over Emiliano Grillo at the John Deere Classic. 

Both Campbell and Grillo carded rounds of 67 to finish the week at 18-under par at TPC Deere Run in Illinois. 

But it was Campbell, 32, who sealed the deal with a par on the first extra hole, the par-4 18th, after Grillo made bogey. 

The victory marks the second of Campbell's season having won the Mexico Open also in a playoff back in February. 

Campbell becomes the sixth multiple winner on the PGA Tour this season, joining Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Sepp Straka, Ben Griffin and Ryan Fox. 

He earns a cool $1.5m for winning the John Deere Classic.

Campbell also nudges himself up to 28th in the season-long FedEx Cup standings, and jumps from 115th to a career-best 55th in the Official World Golf Rankings. 

David Lipsky eagled the par-5 17th to pull level with Campbell and Grillo in regulation play, but he would fall out of the lead when making bogey on the par-4 18th. 

Lipsky ended the week on 17-under par in a tie for third alongside Kevin Roy.

Max Homa had moved into a two-shot lead in the early stages of the final round, but he played the final 14 holes in 1-over par to end up in a logjam tie for fifth, which marked his best finish of the season.

Overnight leader Davis Thompson endured a final day to forget with a round of 1-over 72, which was the worst score in the top 30, and he ended up in a tie for 18th on 14-under par.

Dunlap surging late

Dunlap -14 (11)

Dunlap charging late.

He's dropped in another birdie to move to 6-under for the round thru 11 holes.

Dunlap just one back. 

17:59
Young into T2

Young -14 (6)

It's a fifth birdie in six holes for Carson Young, who surges into a tie for second.

One back. 

17:57
Birdie finish for Thorbjornsen

Thorbjornsen -13 (F)

Thorbjornsen stiffs his approach to two feet on the tough par-4 18th and it all adds up to a brilliant 63 - with a double on 17 too! 

17:47
Fowler birdie, Thorbjornsen double

Fowler -13 (5), Thorbjornsen -12 (17)

It's another birdie for Fowler, who moves to 4-under for the round and to 13-under for the tournament.

That's just two back.

It's bad news for Thorbjornsen up ahead though as he makes a disastrous double on what is one of the easiest holes on the course at the par-5 17th.

Thorbjornsen back to 12-under. 

17:28
Carson Young fast start

Young -12 (3)

Three birdies straight out the gate for Young, who moves to 12-under. 

Three back. 

17:27
Rickie makes his move

Fowler -12 (5)

Fowler sends hom a birdie on the 5th to move to 3-under for the round and to 12-under for the tournament.

By no means out of it. 

Three back. 

17:18
Another for Thorbjornsen

Thorbjornsen -14 (15)

Thorbjornsen drains another birdie from long range on the par-4 15th.

He's 9-under for the round and up into a tie for second. 

Three closing birdies for a 59? 

17:03
Thorbjornsen having a stormer

Thorbjornsen -13 (14)

Thorbjornsen isn't going to register his first PGA Tour title but he's surging late.

He's now 8-under for the round thru 14 holes and up to 13-under par.

That's in solo sixth.

Knapp makes early move

Knapp -10 (2)

It's a birdie-eagle start for big-hitting Knapp. 

He's up to 10-under par in T15.

Likely too far back to mount a challenge, but another good week in store for the American.

Birdies galore early

Loads of birdies to be had in the final round by the looks of the early wave of groups.

Thorbjornsen is 3-under thru two holes and to 8-under for the tournament.

The American has impressively started birdie-eagle. 

Both Hoshino and Kizzire are 4-under thru six holes to move to 6-under. 

All too far back to contend for the title but lots of valuable FedEx Cup points up for grabs at least.
