Illini Golfers in the Pros

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.
How did coach Small end up...?

He ended in a tie for 42nd. For reference, that was tied with Fred Couples and ahead of big names Davis Love III, Tom Lehman, Jim Furyk, and Mark Calcavecchia.
On an interesting side note, the winner of the tournament was a player from Thailand named Jaidee. He grew up very poor, with no flush toilet or shower. Jaidee learned to play golf by tying the head of a discarded 5 iron to a piece of bamboo.

Impressive!

I play like my clubs are kludged, and I have wanted to discard them, but they are rules compliant so I don't have an excuse.

ADDC has made a nice comeback. His first 9 holes he was +4. Since then he is -3, so he is at +1 with 2 holes to play. One of which is a par 5, that is the easiest hole on the course.
EDIT- he just birdied the par 5 and is E on the day. (Wait a minute. First pgatour.com said he birdied the hole and now they are saying he bogied the hole. I guess we will have to wait and see which is correct. )

Quality job with the post-round interview too. Sounds like driving accuracy has been the key to his first two rounds.
