Here is the current leaderboard for the Northern Open halfway through the second round:

In case it changes before you view this. Illinois golfers are currently in T1, T1, T3, T3, 5, so the top five individuals on the leaderboard in this 12-team tournament are all Illini. :eek:

And they are up on the 2nd-place team by 30 strokes.

Illini are defending champs and this is a great event with a really nice field. 4 of the top 10 and 10 ranked teams out of 15.

I'll go ahead and list the teams and their current rankings. I couldn't find any listing matching up the 4/10 & 10/15 rankings you are referring to. There aren't many rankings to be had actually. I used Golfstat's relative rankings. What did you use?

Illinois (1)
Vanderbilt (3)
Texas Tech (6)
Florida (7)
North Carolina (9)
Cal
Arizona
UCF
North Texas
North Florida
New Mexico
Augusta
Purdue
UAB
Arizona

So far everyone who has finished is over par. Middle of the pack after the first round may end up not being too bad a start.

We started on the 10th hole this morning and are playing okay, sitting at -1 for the day currently. Still sitting at +6 overall with Florida a long ways away in first at -14. Hopefully we can make up some ground on the front nine. Freshman Feagles tearing it up today at -6 through 7 holes after having a poor round yesterday.

-3 for the day, much better effort. Another tough round for Hardy, makes it difficult to do well when your best players are having an off day.

This is more of what I had expected this season, some ups and downs. The #1 ranking is nice, but I think it's premature. Getting the younger players some good experience will pay off next spring when it matters.
