John Deere Classic payouts and points: Sepp Straka earns $1.33 million and 500 FedExCup points


    Written by Rob Bolton @RobBoltonGolf

    It’s common to refer to the John Deere Classic as a shootout, but like all of the others that are tagged with the same label, they’re more like four sprints around the track with the anchor leg determining the outcome.

    Such was the case at TPC Deere Run on Sunday where Sepp Straka closed with a 9-under 62 that he walked off with a double-bogey 6, and he still won by two at 21-under 263 to claim 500 FedExCup points and $1.332 million. It conjures images of Usain Bolt slowing ahead of the finish line and still establishing another record. En route to his second PGA TOUR title, Straka was in the seventh-to-last twosome in the final round, proving that thoroughbreds always have extra fuel in the tank.

    Straka didn’t set any records in Silvis, Illinois, although his outward 28 in the finale matched the lowest front or back nine on the PGA TOUR this season. There aren’t props for that but he was nicely valued at +5500 to win pre-tournament at BetMGM.

    Together in the final pairing, Alex Smalley (+3300) and Brendon Todd (+6000) arguably had the best chance to chase down Straka, but they settled for a share of second place.

    Another stroke back was Ludvig Åberg for whom there aren’t enough superlatives. He’s taken to the PGA TOUR seamlessly and entered with the fourth-shortest(!) odds to win at +2500. Adam Schenk was +2800 and matched him at T4.

    Åberg’s fellow current sensation, Peter Kuest (+6600), landed in a four-way T17 to eliminate the deficit required to achieve Special Temporary Membership.

    Russell Henley and non-winner Denny McCarthy shared the shortest odds among all in the field of 156 at +1400. In their head-to-head, McCarthy bettered Henley, T6-T35.

    Defending champion J.T. Poston (+4500) was among the seven who checked up in sixth, five back of the champ.
