Share of third at JDC Hodges carded a two-under 69 in the final round of the John Deere Classic to finish the tournament tied with Lucas Glover and Ben Kohles for third.

Impact Hodges opened the tournament nicely with a seven-under 64 on Thursday, when he went five-under on the back nine. He found himself tied with Glover at the top of the table heading into Sunday at 16-under, and both players posted birdies on second and third hole of the final round. However, Hodges was unable to gain any ground the rest of the day, and he was surpassed by both Max Homa and eventual winner Chris Gotterup. Hodges was the best putter at TPC Deere Run, gaining a whopping 8.93 strokes on the green. He also led the field with 25 birdies while ranking 13th in SG: Off-the-Tee and T16 in driving accuracy, though he also finished 61st in SG: Approach. It was the best finish of the season for Hodges and his first top-10 finish since his T6 at The Sony Open in mid-January. He'll tee off at the ISCO Championship next week.

Impact Hodges opened the final round with back-to-back birdies, and his birdies on the ninth, 11th and 18th holes (without dropping a shot) were enough for him to crack into the top-10 on the leaderboard.

It was Hodges' fifth top-10 finish at a PGA Tour event since the start of the 2025 season, and he is 124th on the OWGR rankings heading into The American Express starting Thursday.
