Zach Johnson leads John Deere Classic by 7-under 64

• Zach Johnson posted 7-under 64 in the first round of John Deere Classic.
• Lucas Glover and Zach Blayr carded the same 63 strokes.
• The material notes that Johnson is aiming for a U.S. Senior Open win, which is a senior major on Firestone.

Zach Johnson shot three rounds of 7-under 64 on the first day of the John Deere Classic with a 7-under 64 score, setting a new record in the field.

The material explains that Johnson, who birdied “eagle-birdie finish” in the victory, won the round with a birdie on the par-5 17th, and then finished the round with a birdie on the 18th.

Lucas Glover and Zach Blayr, who finished with a birdie on the first round, had the same score of 63. They also noted that their birdie would be enough to break into the top-100 in the FedEx Cup.

As for the rest of the field, Johnson did not record a win at the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto and did not play in Senior British Open at Gleneagles, while he also made the cut at British Open at Royal Birkdale, where he was 10 years old. The material says Johnson is aiming for his senior major on Firestone.

The material adds that the reason Johnson is not interested in the two British tournaments is that he does not want to play in them. It also adds that he does not plan to play in the TPC Deere Run, where, according to the material, he can only make the cut.

Among the other golfers, who shot 64, named Stephan Yager in the lead. Following that, Yager had a 60-under in the FedEx Cup and was in the top-70 overall, which qualified him for the playoff. Jordan Spieth, who was “Deere” in 2015, finished the tournament with 69.

The material also notes that golfers who shot 66 or better were 20 players, and NCAA champion Preston Stout finished No. 6 with a single birdie, while Jackson Koivun finished with a professional debut and shot 73, making the cut in the zone.
