Illini Golfers in the Pros

[Boomauer]

Unfortunately Nick Hardy not handling the final round pressure of the PGA Tour today....+6 after 13 holes. Hopefully he can turn it around the final 6 holes.

Great steady performance by Pieters.

Calmest I've seen him. Followed him at the PGA(Baltusrol) a few years back and we a volcano of anger. It was painful to watch. Seems so much more in control this weekend.

Hopefully Pieters can learn from John Rahm and get his emotions in check when things aren't going his way.

From the shot tracker it looks like Hardy had 2 very weird holes.where he made double and triple bogeys. Made a triple bogey on one hole after driving it 99 yards from the green. Twice it looks like he barely advanced the ball on swings. Bizarre!

Here is a really nice article about former Illini Scott Langley.

Scott Langley retires from professional golf with decade of memories, appreciation - PGA TOUR

If it’s late on a Sunday these days, Scott Langley is watching a scoreboard with keen, if not worried, eyes.

That European tour has to be a slog. Those guys travel all over the world it seems.

Thomas Detry finished in a tie for 9th in UAE. A solid top 10 finish.

Doesn't look like Pieters is going to make the cut at riviera

Hoping for the best for D.A. and Nick. Hope they both make an impact this weekend.

Nick with a blazing 6 under par round on Sunday for a top 30 finish. Picked up some all important Fedex points.

Currently ranked 179th so has a way to go to get to that coveted top 125...but hey..
he's got more points than Phil, DJ, Bryson and Bubba so he's got that going for him!

A little writeup on Pieters before the TPC. Another story about people and relationships mattering more than success and money.

He was off to a good start (-2 thru 6) before the round was suspended.

Luke Guthrie Monday qualified for the Valspar Championship this week. It will be his first PGA tour start since the US Open in 2019.
