Doug Ghim has holed out 5 times, twice for eagle, in first 32 holes at John Deere Classic
If Doug Ghim goes on to win the 2025 John Deere Classic, he can credit his adroit use of the approach shot.
Through the first 32 holes of the tournament this week at TPC Deere Run, the Ghim Reaper as he's sometimes called, has holed out five times, two of them from great distance.
His fifth and most recent was from just in front of the green on the par-4 fifth during his second round (he played the front nine first on Friday). Ghim chipped on and the ball just found its home.
Eight holes prior, on the par-4 15th, Ghim was 180 yards out after his tee shot and he holed out from there for an eagle.
Of his five hole-outs, two of them are eagles. His other one came on the sixth hole in the first round from 91 yards away.
In a tournament with a packed leaderboard and Ghim leading by just a shot, those five hole-outs are proving to be huge.
His Strokes Gained: Approach so far this week is in the double digits, which you golf stat nerds know is insane.
