I think the Ethan Wilson experiment needs to be over. Bummer as the kid has some talent but he cannot seem to put it together on the course. The problem is that we have an issue at the 5 spot as Jake isn’t doing anything special to take it.

Really tough day, today. +16. Dropped to 4th place. Herendeen choked, went +6 on the back nine.

I disagree about the Ethan Wilson experiment, though he certainly struggled at times.

whole team colapsed today, particularly Max, didn't see that coming at all, 42 on the back crushed us.

Ethan struggles a lot it seems but you are right, Max exploding on the back nine dropped us to 4th. It’s the fall schedule and hopefully they will regroup and get back after it.

There are some changes for PGA University to align with the PGA Tour's shift to a two-tier system in 2028. Starting next year, the top finisher will get to play in the top-tier "Champions" tour, while five of the 2-10 set will play in the second-tier "Challenger" tour. They haven't flushed out how the KFT and PGA Americas will work; that should be announced in November.

#1 is currently Oklahoma State's Preston Stout who has a huge lead over FSU's Tyler Weaver. #2-10 could get interesting this year with more at stake.

The Illini seniors are now in the PGA University rankings: Max at #14, Dane at #26, Ethan at #47. Work to do, but Max has an excellent shot at cracking the top 10 with a strong season.

he had it in his hands before the final round last weekend, that was a body blow both to the team who should've come in second and his leaderboard standings. Long way to go.

OFCC/Illini golf outing:

Team: Max, Dane, Trey, Freddie, Jake

Individuals: rest of Illini. Fun. Great.

Could be, should be very interesting.

Go Illini!

Wow, what a performance today!! this particular group has struggled to convert these opportunities, both Max and the team. Lets get this done, talk about a comeback after that final round last week, get right back on it.

All 9 Illini are -2 or better. Hopefully they can keep the momentum going tomorrow (or Sunday).

this is one of the marquee events of the year on one of the great American courses.

Yep, but I think they're playing the south course; north, much higher-rated, is being renovated, according to an article I read.
