SILVIS – Seeking his first title on the Tour, Cameron Young holds the 36-hole lead/co-lead for the first time during his PGA Tour career.
Adam Schenk and William Mouw are the only players bogey-free through 36 holes.
With a win, Garrick Higgo could join Brian Harman as the only left-handers to win at TPC Deere Run.
Three-time winner Brendon Todd is the only multiple PGA Tour winner at 9-under or better while Tour rookie Ludvig Aberg carded his low round on Tour (64) thus far.
J.T. Poston sits T-18 at 7-under in a bid to become the fourth player to successfully defend a John Deere Classic title.
Starting on the back nine, first-round leader Jonas Blixt (T-18/-7) posted nine straight pars on the same nine holes he carded the first sub-30 nine-hole score of his PGA Tour career on Thursday (29). Of the players who made the cut, Blixt is the only player to shoot an over-par score (73) in the second round.
There’s some youth in the air at Deere Run. Ages of the leaders:
Young (26), Schenk (31), Higgo (24), Todd (37), Aberg (23), Mouw (22), McCarthy (30), Roy (33).
