Loses lead in hearbreaking fashion Kohles posted a three-under 68 in the final round of the John Deere Classic to finish tied with Lucas Glover and Lee Hodges for third and two strokes back of winner Chris Gotterup.

Impact Glover and Hodges entered the final round tied for the clubhouse lead, but it was Kohles who surged to the top of the leaderboard thanks to his five-under front nine. He was sitting at 20-under entering the back but was unable to extend his lead, which allowed Gotterup to catch up to him at the top of the table. It looked like the duo were heading to a playoff, but Kohles' second shot on the par-4 18th hole missed to the left side of the green and trickled into the water. He was unable to chip the ball in for par, and he dropped down to a share of third after finishing the hole with a double bogey. It was a heartbreaking finish for Kohles, who was in a good spot to capture his maiden victory on the PGA Tour and his second win of the season, having won the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Korn Ferry Tour in early June. Kohles is listed in the field for the ISCO Championship next week.
