Is Mike Small the greatest coach of any sport in Illinois history of all time? I think so. What a dynasty he's built. A national championship will cement his legacy even more.
He's the highest paid golf coach in Div. 1. Gotta give Craig Tiley consideration as the greatest coach, though.Is Mike Small the greatest coach of any sport in Illinois history of all time? I think so. What a dynasty he's built. A national championship will cement his legacy even more.
I forgot about Tiley. He definitely has a strong case for being the greatest coach especially since he had that undefeated season and NCAA and ITA national championships.He's the highest paid golf coach in Div. 1. Gotta give Craig Tiley consideration as the greatest coach, though.
Michigan men's team is kinda bad. Their girls team is really good though. The best golfer normally on Michigan is former Illini Brenden O'Reilly who actually had a great B10 championships performance finishing tied for 6th.Not knocking Yale. They beat Michigan at last fall's MacDonald Cup at same course. But Michigan ain't Illinois or North Carolina or Texas Tech or Wake Forest.
Good catch on O'Reilly. Wasn't aware of that. Put Varun Chopra and him back on our roster and we would have fielded a very nice group.Michigan men's team is kinda bad.

I really do wish Varun stayed but even his nice year this season he may not have even made our top 5 from an average standpoint. O'Reilly is a half of stroke behind our top 5 which is quite a bit actually. In fact all of the top 5 at Illinois are better then Thompson Michigan's number 1. I think they made the right decision to transfer.Good catch on O'Reilly. Wasn't aware of that. Put Varun Chopra and him back on our roster and we would have fielded a very nice group.
Jerry got injured in late Dec/early January not sure when exactly. Still recovering from it a bit.I really do wish Varun stayed but even his nice year this season he may not have even made our top 5 from an average standpoint.

This team is really quite solid at the backend, it is the 2/3/4 scores that haven't been consistent enough. I really thought Jerry was going to go under par more this year. Tommy has leaped ahead of him on the ladder and that is nice to see from Kuhl but suprised that Jerry is higher than career average this season. AdC is still on pace for the lowest year ever by an Illinois golfer, he is the reason this team is performing so well.
Yep. Top 5.Someone remind what we need to get out of the regionals? Like top 5 or something?
Thank youYep. Top 5.
Looking at the rest of the field that hole looks like it's tough for a par 5+1 on the par 5-18th hurt a bit but the team is positioned well. Hunt with a monster round today to keep things steady. Time ADC to show his stuff.
Worried about Jerry's play but I feel like he will count the next two days with even par(ish) efforts. Just got to advance. No style points here.
