John Deere Classic picks

The Golfing Gazette writers have predicted the winner of the John Deere Classic.

Jordan Harris: It’s been a quiet few months for Nico Echavarria, but the Colombian’s performance on Sunday at the Rocket Classic earned him a top 10 finish in Detroit. This week presents a great opportunity to secure a big win in his push to make the playoffs.

James Shearman: Ben Griffin is the favorite to win this event for a reason. He has finished in the top 20 in his last six tournaments and has already won twice this season. Another victory would secure Griffin’s Ryder Cup place.
