Yea wind must’ve picked up a lot. Teams everywhere dropping hard. UNC now -3. Which means IL -6 yesterday will probably be the best team score by any team.

Did Coach Small build this team for this course and these conditions?
GT in scares me if Christo can play.
I actually think a windy links course on the coast with 75 degree days is a much better fit for Illinois then a sunny dry heat desert course in Arizona with temps of 100+. The first one is pretty close to the average Atkins day and the 2nd is not found at all in IL really.

I'm on the course and I would say that the wind is down slightly from noon
Virginia has not put up a red number on the back nine.

Piercen had a good bogey on 14 in that he had a lost ball and still limited the damage.
Followed it up with a birdie on 15
Great bounce back

14 is going to be a great hole to watch in match play. It's a 521 yd par 4.
Creek crosses fairway twice and last 100 yds on right is cattails and muck. If you hit the approach first and well, big pressure on the second hitter. If you lose it, big sigh of relief.
Definitely going to spend some time there tomorrow.

well he did go 72 to 78 to 70, that is one of the bigger swings in the championship. But again this is just fine for the team. also jsut made a bird to get back to +4 today, hopefully he can shave another stroke or two off.
Jackson gets out of the rough on 17 to save par. Can't say enough about his resilience this weekend.
golf stat has him with a double
yep, dude has hung in there after the disaster start
Auburn in the clubhouse at +19, likely the 6 seed in match play.
Illinois will be the 1 seed barring them somehow letting me finish out the round for them.
2 to 5 is still tight, 4 teams within 3 shots.
Auburn is in at +19.
Ohio State is +22, waiting for Wallin to finish 18, but they're safely in because if he triples his score won't count. They're 7th.
Georgia Tech will be 8th, and the Illini will get a match play with them tomorrow.

OK, they won't tell you this on TV.
Duangmanee from Virginia just RAN over to the rough in front of the houses in 17 and took a leak. The people partying in the next yard were hooting and hollering at him.

And right on schedule, JB birdies 18 to go into the clubhouse with three straight even par days.
12 (!!!) shot lead for Illinois.
Just dominant from Illinois wow
15! Goecke was about six feet from eagle and a playoff.
Sargent, James, Herendeen all on 18 looking to force a playoff with Tai.
