Illini Golf 2026-2027

DRS · Sep 20, 2026

next tourney is the fighting irish classic. Lower field then these 1st two but not a cupcake at all.. 8. North Carolina, 14 UCLA, 16 Texas A&M along with us are the top 20 teams. Warren is top college golf course, should be great.

This team has shown me enough in the these two events for me to believe we have a real contender here. Max coming back this tourney like nothing happened on last weeks back nine is the sign of a leader and a vet, on a team of vets. Great showing for the boys, I am excited.

We played well this weekend. Lots of birdies. Our young players showed some moxie.

Illinois has added the Kemper Lakes Intercollegiate to the calendar in early October, likely individuals only since it's concurrent with the Fighting Irish Classic. Great opportunity for the young players to build off of a great showing last weekend!

He had a great summer - 2 wins, 3 runners-up (including the DA Points event) and made it to match play at the Junior Amateur. Welcome to the O&B Jonathan!!

back at it tomorrow, as I stated before this is not a 'should win' because there are other very good teams in the field but it is not nearly as deep with top 30 programs compared to the other two tourneys this year, but we are one of the big dogs in this.

Should be a good indicator of where we stand against other Big Ten teams.

Good luck to "B" team at Kemper Lakes.

Max, Jake, Dane, Freddie and Trey for this one. That seems like a strong lineup. Lets see if Jake takes the opportunity here and makes this spot his.

Already nine shots behind the leaders Georgia Southern and Notre Dame. C'mon.

Watching Thomas Detry at Dunhill/St. Andrews on Golf Channel. He's playing well.

Not off to a good start. Everyone over par but Max.

DRS · 2026-10-04T13:49:10-0500

leaderboard is condensing, those teams under shouldn't be able to keep that up. Max with three bogeys down the stretch was a big surprise. Not out of it, just have to put it together this round, could start so far. Freddie with an eagle.

DRS · 2026-10-04T14:13:10-0500

literally every time I make an in-round comment the opposite of what I say happens. Jake just double a par 5 to slow down the good start.

Getting closer team wise...teams currently tied for 1st Max at -3...
