Kevin Tway made seven straight birdies Friday in the John Deere Classic, breaking the longest streak of six this season on the PGA Tour.
Tway - who began his round on the back side - opened with six straight pars, but holed a 23-foot birdie putt at the par-3 16th to start his string of seven in a row.
