Other Illini in the field were Edoardo Lipparelli: T41 +16 & Bryan Baumgarten: T77 +27
Being elite has some perks....
First tournament of the spring starts today! Louisiana Classics, follow the scores here.

Weather forecast not wonderful, with thunderstorms highly probably Monday / Wednesday. But they are getting warm weather and some good competition. Good luck, men.

I'm guessing that they are in a rain delay, as there are still no scores on the web site.
Not much fun sitting around in the clubhouse when you wanted to be playing golf.
Edit: I got that 100% wrong, because I just looked at the front page. There are individual scores and team results part way through the round on another page. Not sure why those don't roll up to the front page, but they don't. The golf is on . . . and as often seems to be the case, the Illini are starting out slow. Nick Hardy is -4, but everyone else is even or above. Illini T4 right now

For some reason the team page isn't updating. Try this one instead.
Hardy doing some good work, needs some more help from the other 4 guys.

Very impressive that LSU currently has all 5 guys under par

Just realized that they used a shotgun start for this event.
Not sure if they will do that every day, but it makes mid-round scoring comparisons just a little bit more dangerous than normal. Sort of like unbalanced conference schedules

Supposed to be 36 holes today, 18 tomorrow. Probably did the shotgun start today to try and get through all 36.
Yikes, 9th hole is killing us this second round. A par, bogey, double bogey, triple bogey and quadruple bogey. The last score from (previously) tournament leader Hardy.

Must be a VERY hard 162 yards, because I see lots of other scores over par. Not as bad as ours, but I looked at the top 20 or so and 3 was the best score. Surprising for a group of really good golfers.

I would think a par 3 with scores like that would have to involve a lot of water.
Yeah, some penalty shots involved for sure.

This Kent State team is looking tremendous.
If it weren't for them, one would conclude that the Northern schools are still shaking off the rust of winter, but Kent State isn't even in southern Ohio, much less the South.
Very impressive.

Yep, hats off to Kent St. Not the first time the Illini have struggled in the first outing of the spring, especially with 2 freshmen in the lineup it's not too surprising.

Illini finish in 4th, 30 strokes back of Kent State
I'm pretty shocked by that, if you can't tell

I could have gotten a double at worst.
Illini play in the Southern Hills Collegiate starting tomorrow. Looks like a lineup change, Tadiotto playing in place of Baumgarten, who will still compete as an individual.

Curious.
Why do they play so many of these on weekdays? Seems inconsistent with the whole "scholar / athlete" thing.

Do you realize how hard it is to get weekend tee times on these courses?
But I'm only parting joking, unless they're playing on a university owned course, it might be a part of the reason.
