The JDC has had 23 champions who won for the first time in its 51-year history. That’s an extraordinarily high number, and they range from big names like Deane Beman, D.A. Weibring, Payne Stewart, Jordan Spieth and Bryson DeChambeau to the not-so-famous like Mike Morley, Blaine McCallister, J.L. Lewis, Michael Clark II, David Gossett and Michael Kim. The stage was set to add another first-timer to the list Saturday when Alex Smalley charged into contention with the best score of the week — a 9-under-par 62 — in the third round at TPC Deere Run.
