Suber posted a bogey-free, two-under 69 in the final round of the John Deere Classic to finish tied with Mac Meissner and Doug Ghim for sixth.
Analysis:
Suber made his move up the leaderboard Friday and Saturday with rounds of 64-66, carding 13 birdies and just one bogey in the process. He was in the top-3 of the leaderboard heading into Sunday, and while he excelled off the tee and connected on 14 of 18 greens in regulation, he was unable to sink his birdie putts and ended up losing 1.45 strokes on the green in the final round. Suber finished the tournament T6 in scrambling, seventh in SG: Off-the-Tee, eighth in SG: Around and in the top-20 in both GIR and SG: Approach. It was his third top-10 finish of the season, all of which have come over his last six tournaments. Suber isn't listed in the field for either the Genesis Scottish Open nor the ISCO Championship next week, so the next time he'll tee off will be at The Open Championship in two weeks. It'll be the third major start of his career and first appearance at golf's oldest major, which he earned a spot in thanks to his solo fourth at the RBC Canadian Open.
