    Illini Golfers in the Pros

    Nick Hardy will be part of the second feature group today on ESPN+ Featured Groups - L. Åberg, N. Hardy, C. Bezuidenhout & J. Day, T. Finau, B. Todd Coverage starts at 12:30 Eastern time and if you haven't watched these before they are great and worth the cost of ESPN+

    So honest and hopefully a character builder. Will be good to see him in Pebble Beach this week, no cut event so he will get exposure and dough. Building up a nice resume and what a whirlwind

    Nick Hardy teeing it off in Kapalua with the winners from last year. ESPN+ even showed him for a brief second. What an amazing place to get to play the first weekend in January!

    Your first Illini FB game you attended in person

    My parents were adamant that I buy the pass to go to all the games my freshman year in 1983. I remember walking from Ogelsby to the stadium in Sept for the Stanford game that started the great win streak. That whole season was magical and I thought about driving to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl...

    I was really hoping they were going to be paired together, that would have been fun to watch!

    They actually showed him coming back out after the delay and sinking the putt. The announcers said they spied him trying 4 footers the entire delay .... smart

    You are dang right!! Moving day and both boys are moving UP!!! Nick to 10th and Detry all the way to 7th. I think Nick is in next week no matter what but for Detry this could be a huge couple of days....

    Illini Golfers in the Pros

    For those with ESPN+ he is a featured group and it’s been great to watch. Hardy has minimized his mistakes when he put one in the water early in the round but came away with a Par thanks to a great pitch and putt. Currently sitting in a tie for 6th with 3 holes left on the day. Edit - Jumps...

    Solid first round for Detry at the Scottish! Good warm up for next week's Open. I assume Nick will also be flying over to play in Liverpool

    so damned happy for Nick. This should be such a relief. Just wish I had followed my thoughts with the way they finished yesterday and put some dough behind them. Great job!!

    Pregame: Illinois vs Mississippi State, Monday, January 2nd, 11:00am CT, ESPN2

    Moved to Columbia in early 2021 (was trapped in our LA house for 9 months and working remote anyway). LOVE LOVE LOVE it here and Spencer has been a joy to watch mature and those last two games will be talked about forever in this town. So happy I get to enjoy SC on Friday and ILL on Monday…...

    Hardy ended up in the top 5, that must buy him some much needed qualifications going forward.
