That includes the day Iowa Basketball star Caitlin Clark played in the Pro-Am, and proved just how popular she is with people of all ages.
Lehman is grateful for all the fans who came to TPC Deere Run for PGA Tour golf, and for the new, "Concerts on Course." He also thanks Deere and Company for continuing its title sponsorship.
At the Pro-Am on Wednesday, which was also Kids Day, Iowa Basketball star Caitlin Clark was the main attraction. Lehman says she may have been even more popular than Bill Murray when he played in the Pro-Am eight years ago.
"Thousands of kids went home on Wednesday, happy. I had a 9 year old daughter who said, she wished, she could have spent the whole day with her. And I told her, well, you're not alone. She was great, you know, just signed every autograph, took every picture. I don't think Wednesday could have gone any better. Actually, we broke the concession stand record of Bill Murray in 2015."
Lehman is grateful for all the fans who came to TPC Deere Run for PGA Tour golf, and for the new, "Concerts on Course." He also thanks Deere and Company for continuing its title sponsorship. "And community support, our parking lots, on both Saturday and Sunday were full. And we were bursting at the seams on Sunday. Sunday was higher than Saturday. And it just was fun to watch streams of people come through the gate. And it just felt like we were back, you know, and back in a big way".
More than 2,100 volunteers helped his staff make this year's John Deere Classic such a big success. Lehman also expect Birdies for Charity totals to rival last year's $13.9 million.
