Its been a couple of weeks since an Illini pro was in action, but we've got two who made cuts and one who is in contention.
First off Thomas Detry had a solid first two days and is right in the thick of the Cyprus Open. Yesterday, I checked in at the turn and he had just doubled the par 5 10th to slow his momentum but since that point he was 7 under for next 19 holes and currently sits T-5 and is one shot off the lead. Detry is absolutely poised to become a force but he has had problems sealing the deal on the biggest of stage. Would be great to get his first win this weekend.
Low and behold D.A. Points has battled all the setbacks and makes his 1st cut in 20 events. Fighting a wicked hard day in Bermuda, with sustained absurd 25mph winds yesterday, to card an even par 72. Good for him, after all he has been through it has to feel good to be playing a weekend.
