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.

Doug Ghim has the 36-hole lead for the first time in his six years on the PGA Tour. The Illinois native holed out from the fairway for eagle for the second straight day at the John Deere Classic.

The 29-year-old golfer played a great first round with 62 shots, and seems to be well on his way to winning his first PGA Tour title.
