It's been a weak field at the John Deere Classic, but it'll shaping up to be an exciting final round and if we're smart, we can make some money.

J.T. Poston leads the field by three strokes, and there's three golfers sitting tied in second place. WynnBET Sportsbook has Poston set as the -110 favorite to capture his second career win on the PGA Tour.

But what about the other golfers? I'll list three who could be worth a bet to make a Sunday surge.

Let's start by taking a look at the top 10 live odds to win heading into the final round.

Live Odds to Win the John Deere Classic

  • JT Poston -110
  • Denny McCarthy +500
  • Scott Stallings +600
  • Emiliano Grillo +700
  • Callum Tarren +1600
  • Christiaan Bezhuidenhout +4000
  • Chris Naegel +5000
  • Bo Hoag +6600
  • Matthias Schwab +6600
  • Cam Davis +8000

John Deere Classic Final Round Live Bets

Denny McCarthy +500

Denny McCarthy is the obvious choice here if you think someone can catch Poston. He's in the final pairing, so if he gets off to a hot start, it could put some pressure on the leader. McCarthy hasn't been striking the ball as well as Poston so far this event, but he's been the better putter.

McCarthy is coming off two top seven finishes over his last three starts, so he's been in good enough form to warrant a bet in today's final round.

Emiliano Grillo +700

Emiliano Grillo has made a name for himself on the PGA Tour as being one of the best ball strikers, but one of the worst putters. This weekend, he's having himself an uncharacteristically strong putting performance, which should strike fear in his opponents. He's gaining 1.60 strokes on the field with his flat stick, and if he can keep that up today, he is in a great spot to make a run at the win.

Christiaan Bezhuidenhout +4000

If you want a bit of a longer shot, I'd recommend Christiaan Bezhuidenhout. He's six strokes back from the lead, but he can score birdies in bunches at times. He's gaining the most strokes putting out of everyone within shot of the win, gaining 2.31 strokes with his flat stick.

If he can dial in his irons, he can go low today, but he'll probably need Poston to stumble.
