scoreboard?

I hate that it isn't on Golfstat anymore
Yes, it appears scoreboard. I think we have the NCAA to thank for dropping Golfstat. I could be very wrong, but that's the impression I got from looking into the matter. Please correct me if I'm way off base.

Go Illini.

"The Fighting Illini men's golf program's hunt for a national title will begin at the NCAA Urbana Regional at Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois, where the Orange and Blue will host 13 programs and 10 individuals, May 12-14, competing for a spot in the field at the 2025 NCAA Championship.

The Illini - No. 14 in the NCAA Division I team rankings - tees off Monday to begin three days of competition. The Orange and Blue are making their 17th consecutive NCAA Regional appearance and are looking to advance to the NCAA Championship round for the 16th time in the last 17 seasons."

Mike is going with the 5 best at the moment. Ethan and Trey are 5a and 5b and when we get to the Nationals, it might switch again. It’s good to have a balanced rotation. If we are fortunate to get in Match play, I like our chances to advance. But one step at a time. Let’s take care of business at home and move forward.

Trey has a higher upside than Ethan but I think Ethan is a bit more stable currently. Might be what small thinks we need just a guy to count who plays decent. Maybe in finals we go for higher upside to beat the best idk.

Long story short golfstat used to do every ncaa tournament and they’d get paid a certain amount yearly to do this. But as things got more expensive for them to do this they asked for more money. And the ncaa said no broke the deal and now organizers and tournaments collaborate with the ncaa on who they choose. clipped is a lot cheaper than golfstat but some big organizers still go with golfstat sometimes if they want to pay more money.

on an individual note it is good to see Jackson off to a good start. He needs a big effort here, he has falling out of the top 10 in the pga U.
 
#394      
A double on 3 for Ethan is rough especially in good conditions. My guess is he put his tee shot into the water, only way I can see it happening;
 
#395      
Depending on the pin placement and conditions that might be a rare birdie we see on 2 for anyone good for Jake. Wish I was there to see this.

Very strange to see us struggle like this on 3 so far (albeit only 2 guys) I know they installed a new tee box for this tournament so maybe our guys are not used to the added 20-30+ yards? Idk

After I said this, Max, Jackson, and Ryan all birdied 3.

Dangerous spot early for UNC. Their fifth guy is +8 thru 7 holes. If anyone else blows up they could have a huge hole to climb out of. Great start for the Illlini who are playing with OSU and UNC.
 
#399      
Now take it for granted that I’m playing these holes 40-70 yards closer. But there’s a few guys about to finish 9 that I would have beaten on my better-best days. On my bad days though the guy that’s +8 thru 7 is beating me assuming he finishes better than like +15 thru 9.

ISU has Tj Barger former Illini! Also the whole team came to Atkins 2 Sundays ago the 27th to play after they won their conf title because they knew they could be placed here. The coach was very nice and said they had a good round. Was hoping to be placed here. Good luck to them!
