Surprise proposal: Madison couple gets engaged at John Deere Classic golf tournament



Quad Cities (WITI) -- A surprise proposal was among the highlights of Wednesday's Pro-Am at the John Deere Classic in the Quad Cities, according to WQAD.

Crystal Hawks, a volunteer serving as a standard bearer at the event, was shocked when she saw her boyfriend Jesse Carlson approach her on the 18th green.

“I had a driver that took me from here back to the volunteer lot to get the ring out of the car, because we had to figure out how to sneak it onto the course,” said Carlson.

As the golfers finished their round, Carlson walked down to meet Hawks on the course. During that time, a message flashed on the giant video screen that read, "Crystal, will you marry me?”

“Oh my god, are you serious?” she answered. “Absolutely!”

The couple are from Madison, Wisconsin, and became involved with the John Deere Classic through family members in the Quad Cities.
