Illini Golfers in the Pros
ADdC is really good. He can have a double bogey during his round and still shoot a 67 (-5). He is too talented for the Korn Ferry Tour.

What's nice about the Scottish is it's now a co-sanctioned PGA Tour/DP World event, so a win would reflect that on both tours. Detry finished top 5 at the Scottish last year, which in part allowed him to play in the Korn Ferry Tour finals and get his PGA Tour card. Good to see him playing well again!
Hardy did not qualify for the Open - only the Top 50 in the world were exempt, and he's still around 150. Detry qualified via sectionals, and Pieters via his DP World Tour standing last year. I'm guessing Hardy will play in Reno next week since they have a concurrent PGA Tour event.
Lots of Illini in action this weekend across 5 total tournaments:
Stricker is in the lead (again) on the Champions tour
ADDC and Brian Campbell both started strong on KFT, with Feagles just starting his day
D.A. Points is T72 at -1, looking to make the cut at the Barbasol Championship
Kuhl bounced back from +2, currently even par thru 6 in Quebec
Way kuhl!!!
Navy beat me to it! Scottish open is a big deal.
started double bogey, bogey... he did par the 3rd hole and is now on the 4th.
Thanks!
the LIV, never to be heard of again.

Two big results last weekend:
Steve Stricker won the Senior Players Championship, his third major of the year (out of six total I think). He qualifies for next years Players Championship and continues a very impressive run in the Champions Tour.
ADDC finished T6 in the Korn Ferry Tour, making it 4-for-4 top 10 finishes as a pro. That's just incredible - I've said before that making his first four CUTS would've been an achievement, but top 10's? He's probably locked in his tour card by now, but maybe he'll make a run at the #1 spot, which carries extra benefits.
Congrats to Steve and Adrien, and best of luck to the rest this weekend, especially the Thomases who will tee off at The Open.

ADdC is trying to make it 5 for 5 on top 10 finishes. He is currently T16.
Adrien never quits. He in now -21 for the tournament and T6. He is only 2 shots out of the lead and has 2 holes to play.
Finishes T7 at -21
His 5th top ten in 5 starts. The guy is a stud!!
I've heard of dream starts, but this is beyond! He must be over the moon happy with how his pro career has begun, because there's no way to plan for something like he's doing. Crazy good. Go ADdC

Great shot! What I am curious to know- if that hadn't been his final hole of the round, would he still have tried that shot? (Knowing that his club would probably get wrecked)Hardy with a birdie of the year candidate.
