Illini Golfers in the Pros
Eagle on 18.
Hardy just went to -19 and is in the lead by himself. I L L
Maybe more importantly, the guy he is one in front of is already in the house after shooting 62. So, line in the sand has been drawn. Hardy cannot fade from here on out.
-20 and back in solo first place.
Obviously this would be awesome for him to win this event but wondering if it changes his approach to the rest of the season? Would he try to enter more Korn Ferry Tour events to try and keep his card that way? Winning this doesn’t really help with trying to stay in the top 125 (I think) in earnings on the PGA tour.
Good question because this moves him up to 43rd on the Korn Ferry points list.
Former Illini who are playing this week:
Detry- European Tour, Feagles and Meyer- Korn Ferry, Stricker- Senior.

I live in Greenville, SC and I have tickets to the BMW Charity Pro-Am. Hoping to see Feagles play a few holes. That is.............if I can break away from watching Larry the Cable Guy, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ozzie Smith (three of the larger celebrity draws this week).

Feagles with a pretty good showing on Day 1. He now heads to Thornblade on Friday and is line to make the cut at -2. Ozzie Smith is leading the ProAm!
Nick is 7 back. He throws a 6 under tomorrow early and that Should be good for a top 10 and a nice payday. Feagles needs a nice round tomorrow to get into the top 20 In the Korn Ferry.
I think he was in 78th place prior to this weekend. I'm assuming he now moves into the top 75
I also noticed Coach Small shot a 6 under 66 today. That is really incredible, considering he doesn't get a lot of practice time.
Hardy, Pieters and Adrien (ADDC) all will be in the US Open this week. Feagles, Campbell and Guthrie will be in the Korn Ferry event this week in Wichita. The Senior Tour and European Tour don't have any tournaments scheduled.
