Bob Goalby, I think. Attended U of I, I think, Won famous/infamous Masters in 1968 after Roberto's scorecard mistake.

BOB GOALBY:
-- Huge name in the 1960's and into the 1970's. Belleville native.
-- Always on the leader board, along with Nicklaus, Palmer, Hale Irwin, Lee Trevino, Billy Casper, Tom Weiskopf, Johnny Miller, et.al.
-- 11 career wins; 1 Major
-- Perhaps the equivalent of Rickie Fowler in today's game
-- Also the uncle of Jay Haas. Great uncle of Bill Haas. (Jay lives in my SC neighborhood.)

Unfortunately Piercen and Tommy both missed the cut in the Victoria Open. Piercen qualified for the entire Canadian swing so he should get more starts this summer. Another former Illini, Noah Gillard, made the cut and is currently T19. Noah, who transferred to IU prior to his junior year, is also making his professional debut.

Thomas Detry (PGA Tour Traveler's Championship) and Brian Campbell (KFT Compliance Solutions Championship) both will play the weekend as well.

Besard is in the KLM Open but didn't make the cut.

Also, I feel I haven't seen ADC playing much lately but I believe he has qualified for the Olympics (with Detry), so we'll have two Illini playing!

Four Illini will be in the field this weekend at the Memorial Health Championship in Springfield. Thursday tee times are below, I'm sure there will be a few on this board that make it out there!

Dylan Meyer just finished his second round at Panther Creek in Springfield with a 10 under 61.

He moved up 120 places to currently a tie for 9th. Hopefully a confidence builder for him, he hasn't gotten many KFT starts this year.

The cut is -5 at this time and Brian Campbell is at -5 after 36 holes, Jackson Buchanan is -9 with 3 holes left in his second round.

It looks like all 3 will make the cut.
