Just saw this myself. I know what group I'll be watching!
My question exactly!The grouping will be together on Thursday (2:20pm ET) and Friday (8:35pm ET). Thomas and Brian were teammates for most of their time at Illinois, while Jackson is a decade later. Cool to see the USGA set that up! My only question remaining - who will be on Jackson's bag this weekend?
Maybe on his way to NC to loop for Jackson!I hope Jackson has the best, most experienced caddy who knows Pinehurst. Tough course, especially the greens, they say.
Just wondering: why didn't Mike Small play in Stricker's American Family? He was in the field, had a tee time Friday morning, then no mention.
Hope he's okay. No problems.

Not out of the realm of possibility. I just hope Detry, Campbell and Buchanan get some tv coverage. I agree: glad, bravo that USGA put them in the same threesome Thursday and Friday.Maybe on his way to NC to loop for Jackson!
Articulate like crazy. Said hello to him, wished him well , Go Illini! at Palmer Cup at Rich Harvest Farms several years ago. What a gentleman! Only problem was Jon Rahm was standing next to Thomas and interrupted our chat with some Arizona State nonsense. True story. No big deal.Nice post round interview with Thomas as well
Great! Just tuned in. Detry leading! Already a mention of Illinois golf, Illini, Mike Small. Go Jackson, Brian, make cut. No Mike Small on Jackson bag, though.
Bob Goalby, I think. Attended U of I, I think, Won famous/infamous Masters in 1968 after Roberto's scorecard mistake.I don’t believe an Illini has ever won a major right? Detry and Pieters have been T4. Stricter has been top 2-4 in all 4 I think but never won. Nick Hardy has been t15. Meyer t20. Points t10/15.
Correct! I never heard of this guy. Got 2nd in the opens too.Bob Goalby, I think. Attended U of I, I think, Won famous/infamous Masters after Roberto's scorecard mistake.
It’s a totally different game. The clubs the balls the courses etc. advancement in technology has completely changed the game of golf. Like other sports people hit the ball farther they put more spin on it they’re better athletes (largely) and so they had to make the courses a lot tougher.I'm getting old. But I think Ben Hogan could make these golfers today look silly with his precision. Mr. Hogan won a couple times at Pinehurst. Nuff said.
