J.T. POSTON followed his opening-round 62 with a 6-under-par 65 Friday to establish a healthy lead after two rounds of the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill.
Poston racked up four early birdies at the second through fifth holes on his way to reaching 15-under 127 through two rounds. He leads Denny McCarthy by four strokes after McCarthy shot his own 65 to move to 11 under.
Poston’s approach game and putting were equally dialed in Friday. Three of his birdie putts were inside 3 feet, and another was just under 5 feet. But he also knocked in a 42 1/2-footer, uphill and left to right, for birdie at the par-4 ninth. “Any time you’re in contention, whether you’ve been leading since Thursday or the back nine on Sunday for the first time, any time you get up, there are some nerves,” he said. “There is some pressure. So thankfully, I’ve put myself in that position a few times in my career and I know that I can do it.”
