In a thrilling turn of events at the 2024 John Deere Classic, Davis Thompson emerged as the winner with an impressive score of 28-under-par 256. This marked not only his first PGA Tour title but also set a new tournament record. The final round saw Thompson starting with a two-shot lead and maintaining his composure throughout, despite facing pressure to secure his victory.
Thompson's journey to the top was not an easy one, as he had been renting a house near TPC Deere Run from Sepp Straka. The unique living arrangement seemed to bring him good luck, as Thompson became the third consecutive player to win the tournament while staying in that house.
Luke Clanton, an amateur golfer from Florida State University, put up a valiant effort and tied for second place with C.T. Pan of Taiwan. This marked Clanton's second top-10 finish on the PGA Tour, making him the first amateur to achieve this feat since 1958.
Thompson's wife, Holly Grace, was present on the course to celebrate his historic win with him. The couple had experienced ups and downs in their relationship throughout the previous year but were overjoyed by Thompson's success.
The John Deere Classic victory earned Thompson an exemption into the British Open at Royal Troon, which took place just two weeks later. This marked a significant milestone for him as he continued to make his mark on the PGA Tour.

The article contains a few informal fallacies. The author uses a dichotomous depiction by presenting Davis Thompson's strong performance and subsequent victory as if it were the only possible outcome, implying that no other players had a chance to win. This can be seen in phrases such as 'Thompson... was on his way to a four-shot victory' and 'The golfer from Georgia finished at 28-under 256 to break by one stroke the John Deere Classic record set by Michael Kim in 2018'. The author also employs inflammatory rhetoric with phrases like 'he wasn't about to let anything stop him' and 'getting off to a good start was crucial, and I was just able to ride the momentum coming in.' Lastly, there is an appeal to authority when the article mentions that Thompson's victory gets him into the next three majors. This is presented as a fact rather than simply reporting that this is what the PGA Tour does.
