Yep, good start so far. Arkansas is the early big mover but in the wrong direction (for them, at least) - they're +5 so far and now on the outside looking in.

Currently sitting in a good spot. -2 on the day, 7 spots clear of the first team below the cut line (Cal).

Does anyone know if it'd be a scorecard tiebreaker again today? Or was that just because there were 5 teams yesterday? In case it's scorecard, obviously it would depend on the 5th scores today, but going into today the ordering of cumulative dropped scores is:

I believe ties for 8 today would be broken via on course playoff.

Danielson's first 4 holes of the front 9: Double Bogey, Bogey, Birdie, Eagle. Keep up that trend! Right now Detry is -3 and everyone else is even par, which is a great spot to be in. Sort of a safety net to have your "dropped" score be the same as a few of your other scores.

Lots of action going on at the cut line. Oklahoma was as high as -8 today but has come back to earth at -3 and is back a shot behind the cut. Oklahoma St. also 1 back, and Cal still in striking distance 4 back of the current last team in, which is Arizona State.

Seems like the best case scenario is happening with all the teams in front of us are well over par.

I noticed that too...looks like focus on top three who are just tanking.

I think the coverage today is mostly aimed at the individual championship. Didn't even realize there was going to be coverage today until this afternoon.

Wow, we are in the top 4 now only 4 back from the lead. Hang on guys! Although another birdie or two might be nice. :D

Only Danielson left to finish 18. The worst we can do now is +16.

Wow, we could actually end up in first place when all the scorecards are in. All the teams in the top five (except us) are playing the back nine to wrap things up. Texas, the only team ahead of us could certainly drop a couple stroke or more. Fingers crossed! All five guys shot extremely well today, well done!

Danielson is in with a par. Texas just picked up a big birdie. Looks like 2nd is likely.

Texas, Vanderbilt and USC only teams yet to finish in top eight. All are on 17th or 18th hole. Illini big movers today up 7 places. One of three teams under par.

Illini finished second to Texas one stoke behind. Four round total of 1134 for Texas and 1135 for Fighting Illini!!!! Only 10 stokes separate first and eight place, well played young men, well played. Now go get that title.

Well done Illin. Right where they want to be. Getting better as the rounds go by. Hoping for a birdie barrage the next couple of days.
