Rob Bolton
Zach Johnson
Rob Bolton, on behalf of the PGA Tour’s official website, placed Zach Johnson atop his list of golfers that will presumably prevail victorious at the John Deere Classic this week, and with very good reason at that.
Johnson is a former champ at the JDC (2012), and the rest of his finishes there since 2009 have been nothing short of spectacular just the same. He has five other top-three finishes in this tournament (three runner-up finishes and a couple of third-placers), further proving why he’s the runaway +500 favorite to win his second title at Quad Cities.

Zach Johnson
Over at Pro Golf Now – Fansided’s dedicated page for everything PGA Tour – resident expert Sam Belden also went with Zach Johnson as his top pick to win this week.
Belden commended Johnson not just for having amazing results at the John Deere Classic, but also for his performances during his 2016 campaign. The 40-year-old veteran has four top-20 finishes over his last six starts and nine top-15 finishes in 20 tournaments played this season overall.

Troy Klongerbo
Jon Rahm
Last but not least, Troy Klongerbo of U.S. Golf TV is back with another under-the-radar prediction. This time, Klongerbo went with a rising rookie in Jon Rahm, and his defense of the Spaniard is a mighty sound one at that.
Rahm, the first-ever two-time Ben Hogan Award winner, has made the most out of his appearances in the PGA Tour level this year. Five of his seven starts for the season have been top-25 finishes, which includes a T3 finish at the Quicken Loans National in June and a sweet tie for runner-up at the RBC Canadian Open just a couple of weeks ago.
Given that this week’s field is pretty much devoid of the PGA Tour’s elite golfers, banking on Rahm at +1,200 could very well reap a very handsome reward.
