<p>It was quite a golf anniversary for Brian Campbell.</p>
<p>Ten years to the week since he made his PGA Tour debut, he won the John Deere Classic.</p>
<p>Campbell's par on the first playoff hole gave him his second career victory on the tour, winning Sunday at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill.</p>
<p>"It all started here as an amateur, my first invite here," Campbell said. "I've loved it ever since."</p>
<p>He loves it even more now.</p>
<p>Argentina's Emiliano Grillo scrambled on the extra hole, the par-4 18th, and Campbell's steady approach was enough.</p>
<p>Campbell, who also won the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld in a February playoff, and Grillo, bidding for his third PGA Tour triumph, both posted 4-under-par 67s to finish regulation at 18-under 266. Campbell is the sixth multiple winner on the tour this year.</p>
<p>"To be let alone in a playoff and to finish it off this way, it's just been amazing," Campbell said.</p>
<p>Campbell's double bogey on No. 15 nearly cost him, but he rolled in a birdie two holes later.</p>
<p>As he waited to see if there would be a playoff, Campbell opted for rest instead of going through another warm-up. He figured he had hit enough shots during the tournament.</p>
<p>"It's grueling out here. We're sweating. It's just hot," he said. "I think we really needed to take a break, get some water, rather than go out and beat balls and putt for who knows how many minutes."</p>
<p>Grillo's tee shot on the playoff hole went into the right rough and he never fully recovered from that.</p>
<p>"I think I hit every fairway today, except for that first in the playoff," he said.</p>
<p>David Lipsky, who was in the final pairing, hit his tee shot into the rough on No. 18 and missed a par-saving putt from 15 feet away, dropping out of a would-be spot in the playoff with his 68. He tied for third place with Kevin Roy (65).</p>
<p>"I'm just really happy how I had a really good mindset, kept plugging away and grinded it out," Lipsky said.</p>
<p>Lipsky's bogey on No. 15 put his title chances in jeopardy, but an eagle 3 on No. 17 -- coming on a putt of less than 8 feet -- pushed him into a share for the lead.</p>
<p>"I'm going to look at the positives and take that from this week," he said.</p>
<p>Carson Young (64), Lucas Glover (64), Jacob Bridgeman (64), Matt Kuchar (66), Kurt Kitayama (67) and Max Homa (69) all ended at 16 under in a tie for fifth place.</p>
<p>Again, the leaderboard was full of contenders.</p>
<p>"The first scoreboard I saw everybody was going bananas, and you kind of knew that would happen," Glover said. "No wind, soft conditions, the rain (Saturday) softened everything up."</p>
<p>Seventeen golfers, including amateur Jackson Koivun, ended up within three shots of the lead. Koivun (67), a 20-year-old, was among seven golfers at 15 under.</p>
<p>Homa was 3 under for the day through four holes and held the lead at 16 under before an uneven finish.</p>
<p>Beau Hossler and Michael Thorbjornsen set the early pace with torrid 63s for the day's best rounds.</p>
<p>Third-round leader Davis Thompson shot 72 and tied for 18th place at 14 under. His fourth bogey of the day came on the final hole.</p>
<p>First-round and 36-hole leader Doug Ghim dropped to a tie for 31st place at 11 under after his Sunday score of 69.</p>
<p>South Africa's Aldrich Potgieter, who won the Rocket Mortgage Classic in a playoff a week earlier for his first tour victory, withdrew prior to the final round.</p>
