Ross Streelman is going to be tough to beat for the individual title. He's under par again and leads by 4 strokes at the moment. He's just looking so solid and steady. I could so easily give that lead away, but he looks rock solid

The course is playing considerably easier today. Might be tough for the LATE tee times to make up much ground.

Sunday Expectations:

Ceiling -- double our overall lead from 3 strokes to 6 strokes
Floor -- remain in the top 4 heading into Monday's final round; stay 7-8 strokes ahead of the 9th place team (currently a 14 stroke margin)
Midway through Sunday's round:

- Holding onto our 3 stroke lead; still in 1st place
- And we're 16 shots clear of 9th place Monday evening; so match play is looking more and more secure

The course is mostly playing easier especially hole 12. A few holes maybe playing a little harder. I think the reason why you see all the low scores is most of the teams out have the best conditions, best golfers, and the teams practiced on this hole setup on Thursday in the practice round. It’s more familiar to them

I golf maybe once a year. I like golf but don't really follow it; however I am finding myself completely into this Illini team and this championship run! Hitting refresh probably more than I should be for the pace we are able to get updates. Just so nice to see our Illini golfers doing so well and love that I'm hitting refresh now more often than the hoops recruiting thread...a wonderful and welcome change.

Amen!

And not many title chases for Illini Athletics these days (but fortunately, golf happens to be essentially an annual occurance). And this team just might be special.

The only downside looks to be getting Stanford or Vandy in match play.
I expect Vanderbilt to wake up besides Sherwood and moll. But reidel has been pretty bad and Sargent has been really bad. Stanford also has to wake up ttu too. Idk if any make it but I bet Vanderbilt of the 3 does
