There's nothing wrong with the 3-4 spot. Anyone in the 1-2 is going to face a team that was forced to fight and stay sharp all day AND came out on top doing so. Going up against the hot wildcard isn't a walk in the park.
Illinois Golf 2022-23
man, this is kinda reactionary on here right now. A.)we not firing today on all cylinders but it is not wildly bad and B.) Tech is probably the team you want out of those qualifying in the first round, after that it is going to be whale against whale no matter what.
still a ways to go. and no there isn't any dreaded hang on thing in golf at all, it is just incredibly hard to play at your best for 4 rounds.

Would love to see 3 Illinois players finish in top 10
Huh? This team was a shoe-in for match play and are currently a lock for it.
If Small told the team to 'go out and play even golf today' with that being the actual goal, I would expect him to resign for personal health issues tomorrow.

I'm perfectly happy to go into match play as the team with the best top three roster. Win 3 of 5 and you move on. No roster is better suited to that than the Illini

Streelman bogies final 3 holes and trails by 1. Ouch
More like Steelmam went Winged-Foot-Phil down the home stretch.

Winning team stroke play is fun and all, but you don't get a trophy, it doesn't mean jack. Let's come out strong tomorrow for match play, this team has the depth to do this.
Absolutely correct....and with the fact that only one team that finished first in the stroke play portion has ever won the title it may make the Illini team a bit more relaxed and still hungry. I like the fact that Hunt picked it up a little today. It takes five to win and they all need to feel like they are the best player on the course and their games under control.
But now it becomes more dependent on the stars than on the stars....total crap shoot of which I am not a fan but makes for good TV.

How do they resolve ties? We have a bunch of potential matchups right now.

Golf Channel showing some dude from Oklahoma while Buchanan and Kuhl are on 18 is certainly a choice
How close did he put it??
All I wanted was for Buchanan to get the ball high enough and to the hole. He hit a great putt considering virtually no other player in the field missed on the high side from left or behind the hole. But having a chance to win from 12 ft on 18 is something he would have wanted if offered...and will never forget.
Biondi will have a much better chance of a three putt than he wanted in order to win. Buchanan and Steelman still have a reasonable chance to be in a playoff.

Yeah, after watching the similar putt before his, which missed low, I think he just over compensated and pushed it out a bit too far right.

From fairway bunker, 177 yards out, hit it over water to 12 feet.
Great stroke play effort by Jackson Buchanan to finish tied individual runner-up in the NCAA tournament! (Something I know a bit about).
At this point, we could match up with Virginia, GaTech, or FSU. Not sure how they "resolve" these ties...???
Robert from Illiniboard said we are a 3 seed due to our higher drop scores.
Which puts us against FSU.
I’ll take it.
