Stricker's Par streak of 55 rounds ended yesterday. I look for him to rebound and get back in contention
Illini Golfers in the Pros
He actually started on 10 yesterday, so he followed his double with three straight birdies. That’s setting a pretty good example!Coach Small preaches finishing strong....so of course he double bogeys the last hole to fall back to -1, 2 strokes out of lead. C'mon coach!
He was a few holes in when they cut coverage. Big wave of names were getting ready to start when they cut coverage. I love Small but I get them not covering him much as still early in the tourney and just shot par through 3-4 holes in when they left coverage. Play will resume on Golf Channel 3 hours from now(he will be done) and hopefully he does well today to stay in contention for the weekend so we can see him play.
This is a few days old, but is a really good article about the final round of the Illinois Senior Open. https://www.ipga.com/small-defends-xxio-illinois-senior-open-title/
Tommy got a sponsor exemption for the John Deere. He is off and running with Birdies on the first 2 holes.
Tommy -1 thru 4 and Hardy -3 thru 9 holes. Hardy with a nice putt few minutes ago to save par
Don't forget DA Points. He finished the day at -1.
It would have also been nice for Coach Small to get in the field.
Pretty Kuhl Tommy got in though 
Sounds like you're drinking the Kuhl-aid!Pretty Kuhl Tommy got in though
Thomas needs a fashion consultant. Black shoes with mid calf black socks with shorts is a very bad look! Is that a Belgium thing!
I lived there for three years. Fashion and Belgium don’t belong in the same sentence. I think it was the capital of midi skirts and lack of deodorant.
84k and change for 21st, had a very good last day...
also, and more importantly, got big fed ex points keeping him in the top 50, he was leapfrogged by 4 players at the John Deere and is close to the top 50 cut off. With the new changes getting into the designated events is going to just a cash windfall for these guys and top 50 fed ex secures it. Deitry is 51 so right there also.
Nick oddly enough is one of the huge benefactors from the LIV. With all the players above him leaving f the tour his 143 finish last year allowed him to keep his card and there is no way he would have if even half of the LIV guys stayed. Now with the changes and his great play this year he is in position to strike gold. he would have missed out on the tour this year and would be battling on the korn ferry if not for LIV. Maybe the only time in my life I have said something positive about the LIV.
Thomas detry is tied for third ( with mcilroy) three strokes back in the European tour event today. Go Thomas!
