Contender at John Deere Classic Abruptly Withdraws from ISCO Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The third round of the John Deere Classic is complete, and it is shaping up to be quite a contending leaderboard heading into Sunday. Davis Thompson leads the way at 15-under par, one shot ahead of four other golfers.
Among those near the lead is Camilo Villegas. He carded rounds of 66-66 on Thursday and Friday and a 69 on Saturday, leaving him three shots back heading into the final round.
However, while he was on the course, the PGA Tour announced that Villegas has decided to withdraw from the upcoming ISCO Championship. They didn’t cite the reason for his withdrawal, but it’s definitely not an injury. He will be replaced by Richy Werenski.
Soon after his withdrawal, another golfer followed suit. Harrison Endycott also decided to forego his spot at the championship and will be replaced by Sean O’Hair.
It has been a frustrating year for the 43-year-old veteran. He participated in 16 events, out of which he made the cut in only eight.

“You know when you’re playing good and you know when you’re playing bad and you know when you’re working on the right things, and you know when you’re struggling.” Endycott said.
“Yes, it’s been a frustrating year. I’ve struggled with my ball striking. I guess couple weeks ago I kind of told myself to stop thinking so much crap and try it simplify things. Last week I hit the ball a little bit better.
“This week I hit some nice shots, rolled the putter good, and I am trying to keep it a little more simple than normal.”
