Illini Golf 2025-2026

So, from what I have read on this board before, 5 shots is nothing in this format.

That would put us at striking distance up to 3 and needing the 1 and 2 to fall back to have a shot there.

Is this still true?
Technically true, but we don't really care about winning the regional or anything other than being top 5.

One more round to go.

Then I might comment.

Hint: not happy right now about Illini performance.

I miss Matthis Besard.

It’s only gotten worse. It’s not even the conditions. Southern miss is -9 and ahead of us. Pitiful performance so far.
 
#315      
Georgias performance might be worse. 4th seed and hosting at your home course and you might not qualify.
 
#317      
Looking pretty tough. Need to light up the back 9 and get to about -16 or -17 and hope for some help.

Illinois currently has the worst 3rd round going of any team in the field.

I think there should be some real deep soul-searching down there in the Champaign golf office - coaches and players. Certainly no champagne. No bubbles - things fizzled out and were pretty flat all year.

You can stick a fork in them now. Disappointing year for sure.

The last thing I would ever do is bet against Mike Small getting them right back where they have been consistently over the last 15 years.

All year the team struggled with consistency too many players who can be good and bad not enough guys who you can fully rely on. And max who should be the star battled injuries a lot. Tough ending. I feel horrible for Charleston. Georgia beats them by 1 on their own course. Charleston should be going not them.!

In case people care, USC qualified, Purdue is in the middle of a historic collapse on round 3, might not qualify. TTU 7 seed might not qualify, OSU also collapsing today at home course, 19 seed Charlotte might not qualify, 21 seed NMST missed. UCLA should qualify, northwestern and Oregon missed. So 3 b10 teams probably in the final.

By far, the worst round of the day. The only team to shoot above par. Need to regroup.
