The Illini tee off with Auburn and Purdue tomorrow. They have to catch one of those teams and pass them.
WEDNESDAY FORECAST: Sunny, 85 degrees, winds SSW 15-25, gusts to 40 MPH
Illinois is even through holes 3-6, still 5 shots back. Auburn and Florida are off to under par starts, so it is just Purdue at +3 that are in the Illini sights. Hopefully, the wind gets really gusty and scores are all over the place. That probably provides the best chance for closing the gap.
We are just losing too many shots to the field. Tough conditions today, but we are at +7 (Including Meyer at +4). You can't do that and expect to advance. We have about 6 holes left to mount a decent run and hope for a collapse somewhere.
These last six holes, we have played terribly thus far in the tournament. I have low hopes that we will make it.
Agree, ILL is going to have to close very strong down the stretch on the exact holes that have cost them each previous round . . . and have some good luck with the field. Florida is on a very bad trajectory over the front 9 with 8-11 holes to play so they might end up at +15 by the end of it. So there is still a chance, but a very slim one.
anyone know the tiebrakers and how we are setup against Purdue/Florida? I assume it may have to do with the 5 golfer?
