Question for any of you who may follow golf recruiting - Are there any Illini targets or commits that are playing in the U.S Junior Amateur this week? With the tournament being in town, I'm planning on checking it out at least one or two days this week. I was just curious if there was anyone that I should I should keep a closer eye on while I'm there. Also hoping that Coach Small will be one of the many coaches hanging around it.
2016-17 Illini Golf
2019 commit Tommy Kuhl is playing.
Thanks, WVC!
He tees off in about 30 min, live scoring here.
It was a bit of a rough day for him on some of the greens, but he shot a 74 (+3), which put him T63 with about 15 others. Top 64 after tomorrow move on to match play. I'm hoping to catch his back 9 tomorrow too, work schedule willing.
Missed out on match play by losing in a playoff. Too bad, but a decent showing for a HS Jr.
The Western Amateur is about to start up in Skokie and our Dylan Meyer appears to be one of the favorites.

What's Dylan's chances of making the Walker Cup team?
He's going to need to do well in the US Am next week, at least make it to match play and maybe even advance a round or 2. He hasn't had a good summer and sounds like he's on the outside looking in right now, despite his top 10 WAGR ranking.

When's the team's first competition this fall?
Illini Commit - Tommy Kuhl
NORMAL - Tommy Kuhl picked a great time for his best two 18-hole rounds of the season.
The Morton senior golfer followed up his state-finals record 63 on Friday with a sparkling 66 Saturday to shatter the all-time tournament two-day record in any class by eight strokes with a spectacular 129 total at Weibring Golf Course. The previous two-day record in all three classes was 137.

My son was down there cheering on one of his teammates at PND and watched Kuhl play a bit. Said he was a lot of fun to watch. Should be a great addition to the Illini next season!
KBLEE
- Montgomery, IL
His illness is ulcerative colitis, which he will likely deal with for the rest of his life. I'm not sure if it is the cause of his current form, but it's one of those things that could flare up at any time.
