The move was made by Mid-Iron’s ownership late last year. The short nine close to Gleneagles in unincor-porated Lemont would shutter its fun but lightly-played layout. However, the range, with well-maintained grass tees, would remain open.

That’s the plan in effect this spring as well. As the photo above shows, most of the course is now over-grown – the first hole, adjacent to the range and along Bell Rd., was mowed whence we last buzzed by – with all focus on the range, where a solitary player was socking balls on a cool day.

Ideally, the decision will be reversed someday, but it would take time and money to get the greens back into the remarkably good shape recalled from when Mid-Iron was going strong.

The reverse: Just a few miles away, Woodbine,

shuttered at the end of last season and destined to be the first park in the village of Homer Glen, is in perfect shape, with fairways and greens ready for players. But the course remains closed while the village figures out exactly what the park should look like. (The clubhouse is supposed to become the village hall.)

Logic says Homer Glen should have made a deal with the Ludwig family, the previous owners, to operate Woodbine this year, as they did last year. Right now, the village has a fine piece of property villagers can’t access.

In limbo: Add the Oak Club of Genoa to the courses in question list. The 1971 Charles Maddox de-sign in DeKalb County has been on the auction block twice in the last three years. The course’s website still lists 2014 prices.

The Grill Room by Tim Cronin

Spieth’s first domino fell at Deere RunFew people who have been around him

for even a few moments were surprised when Jordan Spieth said he’d be back at the John Deere Classic this July, even

if – we presume – his fresh new Green Jacket – stays back home in Dallas.

Even before winning the Masters, Spieth had shown loyalty and commitment uncommon in the modern-day professional golfer, and he’s continued to do so.

That two-day whirlwind tour of New York media outlets, from David Letterman’s talkfest to cable shows of every stripe? Most recent Masters winners partake, then stay home for the weekend. The Heritage Classic goes on without them.

Not Spieth. He’d signed up to play, so he played. And when most observers believed an opening-round 74 would give him a weekend off, he bounces back with a 62 on Friday, makes the cut, and eventually finishes tied for 11th.

It’s hard not to root for a kid like that. And yes, at 21, he’s still called a kid. At least, until his senior class at Texas graduates later this month.

None of this would have happened – at least, not yet – had Spieth stayed in college in Austin, a great town to go to college in.

But he felt himself ready, and has proved himself righter than right.

Turning pro and making the most of a hand-ful of exemptions carried him to the John Deere Classic two years ago, where all he did was con-tend all week and win the whole shooting match

on Sunday, improbably and dramatically.Honestly, who holes out from a greenside

bunker on the 18th to make a playoff, then sur-vives to the fifth hole before winning?

As a 19-year-old, the first teen to win on the circuit since 1931?

Like the Maltese Falcon, it was the stuff that dreams were made of. But this was real.

So is Spieth.The Deere was the first domino. That earned

him a full Tour card, all the Fed-Ex Cup points he had accumulated so far in 2013, and best of all in retrospect, a berth in the 2014 Masters.

There, he finished tied for second and served notice that the lightning bolt he threw from that bunker in Silvis was not a one-time wonder.

After some close calls, his winter victories in the Australian Open – he even took the time

to study the history of the tournament before-hand, which endeared him to his hosts Down Under – and in Tiger Woods’ invitational set the stage for his dominance on the Tour this year, highlighted by the 1-2-2-1 run that climaxed at Augusta National.

Now? Well, he’s one of the few in the U.S. Open field who has played Chambers Bay, doing so in the U.S. Amateur.

How good would it be for Spieth to return to Silvis as winner of the season’s first two majors?

It will be great fun seeing what happens next. –––––We’re pleased to welcome Luke Cella,

executive director of the Midwest Association of Golf Course Superintendents, to our pages for a regular column on agronomy. His first is on the need for that necessary evil, aeration.

Saturday’s leaders had tough Sundays.

By Tim CroninReporting from Crete

–––––A player who can putt is never out of it in the

Will County Amateur.That’s been proven time and again over the

years, and Michael Fastert of Des Plaines proved it again on April 19. His final round 2-under-par 70 at Balmoral Woods earned him the first big amateur title of the year in Illinois, and with it, a chance to pose in the traditional Brown Jacket.

Fastert finished at even-par 144, a stroke ahead of Bolingbrook’s Paul Dagys and Frankfort’s Glenn Przybylski. Kyle Slattery of Rockfort and former champion John Ehrgott of Edwards tied for fourth at 4-over 148.

Poised on Balmoral Woods’ slick greens, Fastert birdied four of his first 12 holes in the fi-nal round, more than making up for the 2-over 74 he posted on Saturday, and the surge brought him back into the scrap. With first-round tri-leaders Joe Skrabutenas, Ryan Herter and John Wright fading fast – Wright’s 79 was the best final round of the three – Fastert took the lead and hung on.

Fastert birdied three of Balmoral’s four par-5s, including the 12th, which moved him to 2-un-der for the tournament.

Meanwhile, Dagys was all over the map ear-ly, with a bogey at the par-5 first, an eagle 3 at the fifth and a double-bogey 5 at the fourth, but made a real push with three straight birdies to open the back nine. His birdie on the par-3 16th got him back to even par for the tournament, and tied with Fastert, but a bogey at the last left Dagys one

Perakis, Streelman win at Augusta9-year-old triumphs in Drive, Chip and Putt; Winfield pro collects Par-3 crystalBy Tim Cronin

Reporting from Augusta, Georgia–––––

Effie Perakis has not yet spent 10 years on this earth, but she has an accomplishment on her golf resume that many have dreamed for and few have achieved.

She has won at Augusta National Golf Club.The 9-year-old Glenview resident won the

girls 7-9-year-old division in the 2nd Drive, Chip and Putt competition the Sunday before the Mas-ters at Augusta.

She had finished third in the 8-9 girls bracket of the Little Peoples’ Championship in Quincy last year, so it wasn’t a complete surprise that she now only showed well in Drive, Chip and Putt qualifying, but won her regional division to ad-vance to Augusta.

Sinking a 30-footer on Augusta’s 18th green – how many old pros over the years would have bought that putt from her if that was possible? – put her over the top, with 22 points to the 20 accu-mulated by Charlie Whorton of Springdale, Ark.

Perakis took sixth in the driving competi-tion, third in chipping and second in putting. That earned her five, eight and nine points, respectively. Whorton won the putting by virtue of a closer first putt, and was fourth in driving, but eighth in chip-ping, accounting for the two-point difference.

Perakis wasn’t the only Illinoisan in the DCP finals. Jimmy Morton of Sugar Grove took eighth

in the Boys 14-15 bracket, while Caroline Smith of Inverness was 10th in the Girls 12-13 division.

One feel-good story at Augusta was followed by another four days later, when Winfield native Kevin Streelman won what nobody wants to win: The Par-3 Contest on the eve of the Masters. It’s considered a jinx because no winner has gone on to capture the Masters in the same year, but Streelman obviously wasn’t superstitious. He beat Camilo Villegas on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff after they tied at 5-under-par 22.

Better than that, Streelman had already won in a larger sense because of the caddie he used.

Streelman used 13-year-old Ethan Couch of Spruce Grove, Alberta, to carry his bag. Streelman had called the local Make-A-Wish chapter to see if any youngsters wanted to go to the Masters.

Couch did. Streelman called and asked if he wanted to caddie for him in the Par-3 Contest.

Silence on the phone. His parents started cry-ing.

“I just wanted to go to the Masters,” Ethan told ESPN later. “I didn’t expect this.”

Then Streelman found out Couch has a be-nign brain tumor, with the long-term prognosis unknown.

“This isn’t about me,” Streelman said. “It’s about giving back. It’s about using the opportu-nity that I have to make someone’s wish come true.”

That feeling’s even better than winning.

Shore enough Bun-ker sand on the holes near Lake Michigan at Harbor Shores has replaced the original beach sand. This is the undulating eighth.


Nicklaus goes for Harbor Shores ‘tweak’By Tim Cronin

Reporting from Benton Harbor, Mich.–––––

Bob McFeeter had a problem.The managing director of Harbor Shores

knew some greens were just too severe for his customers, and also for the PGA of America when it rolled in with the Senior PGA Championship.

Slopes were too steep and there were too few pin placements.

But how to broach the subject with the archi-tect, one Jack Nicklaus?

McFeeter decided to be direct. He created a document with his concerns and possible rem-edies and e-mailed it to the Golden Bear. Then he waited.

His mailbox soon pinged.“Mr. Nicklaus understood our concerns,”

McFeeter said. “He did not oppose changes.”Soon, Nicklaus dispatched chief architect

Carl Goetz and agronomist John Scott to the course, and they got to work. Six greens would be changed.

Ridges, rolls and mounds on the first, second, sixth, 12th, 14th and 16th greens were softened to make putting more palatable and provide more pin placements.

“The greens are really what makes this golf course what it is,” PGA of America champion-ship boss Kerry Haigh said. “Really, this is just a tweak and improves what is a spectacular golf course.

“On some holes, we had three or four hole lo-cations we could use, and the players knew where they were coming in. Now, we have six or seven, and the players won’t know which ones we’ll use.”

Fairway grass has replaced rough behind the sixth and 14th greens, to give players options on playing back up to the green. Additionally, stan-dard beach sand in green-fronting bunkers on the sixth and seventh holes, which drove players crazy, has been replaced by standard bunker sand matching the rest of the course. High fescue and dunes grass on the seventh and eighth holes has also been replaced by standard rough.

The Senior PGA returns to Harbor Shores in 2016 and 2018.

It started as a way for a couple of seasoned pros to honor an old pal.

The old pal, who had bestowed countless kindnesses on others over the decades, was so touched by the thought, and by the contest, he un-

derwrote the continuation of it in his will.That, in brief, is why the Radix Cup not only

exists, but is so well-regarded by those who have played in it, today.

The 54th playing is Wed., June 3, at Oak Park Country Club, site of all but a handful of matches over the decades.

Who was this Radix? It was Harry Radix, a dealer in diamonds and other precious gems and for decades, a leader in the American figure skat-ing scene, and an absolute golf nut.

Until his death in 1965, Radix had attended every U.S. Open since 1920, and most every PGA Championship in that era.

He owned Masters badge No. 1.When Ben Hogan nearly collapsed during the

1951 U.S. Open at Merion, whose shoulder was there for the Hawk to lean on? Radix’s shoulder.

In the early 1930s, he decided golf needed a trophy to honor the best season. He created the Radix Trophy, which would go to the scoring champion for the season.

It did until a new PGA of America president came in, got into a feud with the administrator of the tour, and decided that Radix’ award would be replaced because Radix was a friend of his ene-my. Thus was born the Vardon Trophy, named for Harry Vardon, fading away in an English nursing home.

Harry Radix knew everybody in golf, and that universe thought the world of this Chicagoan.

In 1962, close friends Bill Ogden and Errie Ball, the head professionals at North Shore and Oak Park country clubs, respectively, had an idea. Start a pros vs. amateurs match featuring the best players in Illinois, and modeled on the Goldwater Cup in Arizona. They named it after Radix.

The first was played at North Shore. All but two of the subsequent matches have been played at Oak Park, most recently on the first Wednesday of June more often than not.

The Radix has hosted a Who’s Who of the state’s pros and amateurs, especially from the Chi-cago area. Five PGA Tour winners have played, most recently D.A. Points. Leaders in the Illinois PGA and CDGA’s point standings fill most of the 24 spots, with places reserved for Oak Park’s club champion, and the club’s head pro, Frank Bruno.

Leading the way with 23 appearances over the decades is Hall of Fame amateur Joel Hirsch.

“I think it’s the premier event in Chicago golf,” Hirsch said a few years ago.

As Earl Puckett said in 1989, when he was the head pro at Oak Park, “It’s just pride. You don’t want to lose to the amateurs and they don’t want to lose to us. It’s a matter of pride on both sides. After it’s all over, we get together and share a drink. It’s fun.”

Just as rugby has the famous third half, the Radix Cup doesn’t end when the final putt drops. The players and brass from the Illinois PGA and CDGA, which co-administrate the match, retire to the club’s ballroom for toasts and more, part of the legacy Radix wanted to create.

“This is our Ryder Cup as a PGA profession-al,” said Bruno, who caddied in three Radixes and will be teeing it up for the ninth time. “It’s got his-tory. It’s got heritage. It’s great fun. If you don’t enjoy playing in an event like this, you’re not a golfer.”

A best-ball Nassau format is used, one point for each nine and one for the overall score in each of six matches. Thus, a twosome trailing at the turn can come back and win the back nine to square its match.

Make no mistake: Illinois’ new practice center (above) is modeled on Augusta National’s (below), exactly what Mike Small intended.



Prairie Jewel Illinois’ practice center includes the indoor building, completed in 2007, including an artificial-turf putting and pitching area (above) and heated hitting bays (right) that open up to the new outdoor facility.

Mike Small took over the Illinois men’s golf program in June of 2000.

Immediately, he had two goals: Make the Fighting Illini consistently competitive, and build a world-class facility for his players – and the women’s team – to practice at.

“The day I got here, I started talking about it,” Small said recently in Savoy. “In order to build a program, you need facilities.”

Usually. But Small, part of the 1988 Big Ten championship team that included Steve Stricker, jump-started a revival that has far surpassed that squad’s success. Thanks to savvy recruiting and solid play, his teams began to climb the ladder.

With the NCAA Regional around the corner, the Illini are rated No. 1 in the Sagarin Rankings, a hundredth of a point ahead of Texas and Florida State, following a 32-stroke rout of the field in the Big Ten Championship, Illinois’ sixth in the last seven years. It is a season built, one might say, on both the foundation of those previous successes and the practice center envisioned by Small.

Individual wins – more than half of Illinois’ solo titles have come in the Small era – were fol-lowed by team triumphs. One in the fall of 2001, four in the 2002-03 season, then a lull, then the del-uge. The Fighting Illini have won 40 tournaments since the fall of 2007, including seven this season.

It is not a coincidence that the Demirjian In-door Practice Facility, which includes hitting bays, all the high-tech gadgetry necessary for swing analysis, and a huge pitch-and-putt room with a cathedral ceiling, opened in January of 2007.

“Most programs will build those facilities and it’ll lead to winning,” Small said. “Our winning helped lead to the facilities, which is kind of a unique thing, which is cool about it. People be-

lieved in what we were doing. It took a while to finish it off, but we were a good team before that building was even built. We were a top 25 team hitting in the basement of Huff Gym.”

In other words, in a dungeon-like setting in among the boilers and storage rooms and laundry and locker rooms for women’s volleyball. First-class, it was not.

Now it is. Eight years after the Demirjain building opened, Small’s team, and that of wom-en’s coach Renee Slone, can step out the east doors and tee it up on a 24-acre outdoor practice center modeled on Augusta National’s Masters range. Both Augusta and the Lauirtsen/Wohlers Outdoor Practice Facility have clearly defined fairways, plus real greens to fire approach shots at. Each also has a superlative short game area.

The big difference between the two: Illinois spent close to $6 million rather than the estimated $40 million Augusta spent between building a new parking lot and placing the Masters range on the old lot. Oh, and Illinois’ is wedged between the agriculture school’s facilities, including an iconic round barn that could be a target for a wild-ly hooked tee shot.

Augusta National is barn-deprived.As was the case for the indoor practice center,

the $6 million for the outdoor facility, which in-cludes an endowment of almost $4 million to pay for continuing maintenance, was all raised pri-vately, though donations from alumni – including Steve and Nicki Stricker and Brent Wadsworth – and other interested parties.

Combined, it’s the crown jewel of practice fa-cilities in the Big Ten. Even Purdue, Ohio State and Michigan, with university-owned golf cours-es on their campuses, have nothing like this.

The quality and scope of the facility should

leave prospective recruits wide-eyed.“That’s what drew me here,” freshman Nick

Hardy said. “Seeing the outline of that and Coach telling me what it was going to look like, I totally believed in it. I bought in. It’s a big reason why I came here.

“Having that as a recruiting tool, it’s huge. Having that as a private facility, for us at any time, for us to hit any shot we want in any wind, it’s going to help us get better. Hopefully, it’ll get us more championships in the long run.”

Such as the one Hardy led Illinois to at Vic-toria National in Newburgh, Ind., site of the Big Ten Championship. Hardy finished tied for first with Iowa’s Carson Schaake at 4-under-par 284, Hardy’s effort highlighted by a 4-under 68 in the third round. There was no playoff.

Hardy and fellow freshman Dylan Meyer, an Evansville, Ind., native whose insight into Victo-ria National was invaluable during the conference tourney, are joined on the traveling five by senior

Brian Campbell and juniors Thomas Detry – the latest from the Belgian pipeline Small has culti-vated – and Charlie Danielson. That trio collected various levels of All-America honors last season. This year, Detry was the conference’s player of the year and scored the lowest stroke average, Hardy was picked as freshman of the year, and Small was honored as coach of the year for the seventh time.

Detry said the facility, indoors and out, was part of the lure to come across the pond, just as

compatriot Thomas Pieters, the 2013 NCAA individual champ, had done.

“The most important thing is, the whole thing is for us,” Detry said. “Not just during the season, but dur-ing the off-season, during the summer when there’s no school. I’m really, re-ally excited about it. It’s going to be perfect next fall. It’s definitely going to help us for sure. Having one of the best facilities in the country, indoor and outdoor, it’s a plus for us.

“What’s amazing is it’s right on campus. It’s 15 minutes away walking from my apartment. Classes are not far away. We can drive or bike or walk over. The location makes it so con-venient. A lot of colleges have good facilities, but having it right there on campus is pretty unique.”

The Illini prepared for their Big Ten triumph not on the new range, but at the Orange and Blue Course prac-tice range at Savoy, likely the last time they would use it. That short-game area, with a pair of greens, was an up-grade from the nothing they had be-fore. Now they have everything.

How much more can that help Small and Slone in their recruiting? Small knows what’s already been ac-complished in his program.

“The building helped us get over the edge, to get into the top 15, top 10,” he said. “The building’s been the biggest asset, because we get better in the win-tertime. The outdoor center, what it does is command respect from people seeing

there’s a commitment to golf, that it’s ours, that we don’t have to worry about anybody else getting in our way.

“The building got (Scott) Langley and (Luke) Guthrie to come here be-cause they liked the coaching staff and saw some commitment, some passion and some history, some knowledge. Then couple that with the ability to practice and get better and go to a great university, that got ‘em excited. Now you’ve got a place that takes it up a notch higher with the outdoor center.”

Small’s a fixture on campus, but it’s not like he hasn’t been tempted to go elsewhere. Arizona called and Kansas pushed hard a few years ago. Small, a native of Danville, stayed put.

“It’s who I am,” Small said.He was on Danville High’s IHSA

title team in 1982, on the Illini title squad in 1988, and now, two years af-ter Illinois was runner-up to Alabama, has a team that could win the NCAA Championship.

“It’s been a year, if we finish it off the way we can finish it off, I know some coaches at Purdue (where Illi-nois romped) were saying, this could be the best Big Ten team of all time,” Small said.

“That’s if we finish it off. This team has an opportunity to do some special things, but in order to do that, we have to be ourselves. No Big Ten team’s ever been rated No. 1 before. They’re saying that kind of stuff, but we’ve got some work to do.”


No holes in the case for aerificationLuke Cella

You see them every spring and fall.The thousands of holes in putting greens, and often elsewhere on a course.

Why?Because aerification is the best thing a golf

course superintendent can do for the turf. With-out getting too technical, aerification does one thing that makes our turf healthy and able to with-stand the abuse it takes each summer by adding a very important component to the soil: air.

It does this by alleviating compaction, the physical pressing of soil particles together. Aerification adds physical space between soil particles and allows air to infuse the soil.

Everybody likes space, even soil particles.Think about the last time your personal space

was infringed upon. You were probably in a mass transit setting or a crowded sporting event. That feeling of being pressed in is not comfortable.

Once you were out of the situation, you felt much better, like you could breathe. Soils don’t have feelings, but space within the soil is impor-tant for turfgrass health and survival. The draw-back to the process is that it disrupts the playing surface and if we could avoid it, we would.

Plants, like humans, need air, water and food to survive. Plants take up these items from the soil through their root systems. If the soil is compacted or pressed together, there is no free air exchange and no place for the roots to grow to pick up water and nutrients.

Think of the root system of the turf plant akin to your nose and mouth. In goes food and water while air is exchanged using your respira-tory system. If food, water, or air is impeded or withheld – your life changes drastically. For-tunately most have unrestricted access to food, water, and air – but turf plants trying to grow in compacted soils are limited because of restricted access to these vital components.

Compaction of a soil builds over time. It is a normal process, especially for golf courses and other turfed areas designed to support human activity. Each time a person steps on the turf or a mower travels over it, the soil compresses a little more. Even downward forces from rainfall and snow add to the compaction of a soil.

Why do some courses seem to aerify more than others?

As each golf course is different so are the

soils underneath them. The rate and ease at which soils compact are a function of the number and the size of the particles that make up a soil.

Soils comprised of smaller particles com-pact more readily than those that are comprised of larger particles. There are three different particle sizes in a soil: sand, silt and clay. Sand particles are by far the largest and when pressed together still provide some space for air, water, roots and nutrients – which is why the USGA specifies the use of sand for green construction.

Clay, the smallest of particles, can get so close to each other when compacted that air and water molecules cannot pass through. Because of this property, clay is often used to line the bottom of man-made lakes.

Every soil has varying amounts of sand silt and clay. If a soil has more clay in it, it will compact quicker than one that is comprised of sand. Clayey soils will need more frequent aeri-fication to open them up for root growth and air exchange. It is a simple concept to understand and one of the best practices a superintendent can use to encourage a healthy turf plant and ultimately a better playing surface that lasts throughout our summer season.

There are two classes of golfers.Those on the outside looking in, and those

pleased to be on the inside.Want to be on the inside?Volunteer for this August’s U.S. Amateur at

Olympia Fields Country Club, the centerpiece of the big south suburban club’s centennial year.

About 800 volunteers are needed for every-thing from marshaling holes to working cash reg-isters in the merchandise tent. Most positions are outside, either on the golf course or the range.

In every category, once you’re in, and your shift is over, you can watch golf without paying the admission charge.

The fee is $75, and a bargain. In exchange for working about 12 hours as a volunteer, you get two snazzy golf shirts, a hat, a rain poncho, food and beverage vouchers for your shifts, and admis-sion for the week. The latter is an $80 value.

Championship director Andrew Lamie said late in April that about half the volunteer positions have been filled. That leaves some 400 remain-ing, and most of those left will likely some from outside the Olympia Fields membership, a group excited about the show coming to its abode, but which can’t man the whole thing itself.

Haigh confirms Cog Hill visit ‘shortly’It wasn’t exactly on the same level as Nixon

saying he’d go to China during the first term of his presidency, but it’s significant, and potentially pivotal, for Chicago-area golf.

Kerry Haigh, who runs the PGA of America’s championship division, confirmed April 30 he plans to visit Cog Hill to tour Dubsdread.

Among Haigh’s duties is helping select the sites for the PGA Championship, Senior PGA Championship, and the Ryder Cup, as well as the PGA’s other tournaments, including the club pro championship.

Haigh has never been to Cog Hill.“I’m hoping to visit shortly, to look and see

that facility,” Haigh said in Benton Harbor, Mich., after helping unveil a tweak to Harbor Shores (page 7). “I watched (the Western Open / BMW Championship) every year on television. Kather-ine (Jemsek) has been in touch recently for me to come and look at it. We’re always very interested to see any wonderful golf course. Cog Hill has that reputation, and I can’t wait to see it.”

The Western Open was played on Dubsdread from 1991 through 2007, and again from 2009 to 2011, the latter years as the renamed BMW Championship. Rees Jones’ 2008 refurbishing of the 1964 Dick Wilson-Joe Lee design received

poor reviews from a num-ber of pros, including usu-ally complimentary Steve Stricker, in 2010. That and declining crowds in Septem-ber compared to big galleries in July prompted the Western Golf Association and BMW to leave Dubsdread in favor of Conway Farms, an easier course located in Lake For-est rather than Lemont, as its Chicago-area site.

Haigh said “a couple of venues” are communicating with the PGA, and identified Cog Hill and Medinah Coun-try Club. The latter hosted a pair of PGA Championships in 1999 and 2006, and the 2012 Ryder Cup, which fea-tured sellout crowds and 77 corporate hospitality chalets.

“We have a wonderful relationship with the club and the membership and the whole city,” Haigh said. “The community got right behind that event. We continue to hope and talk with the club about opportunities. Who knows where that may end.”

Medinah insiders say the club rejected a low-ball offer for another PGA, the 2016 or 2018 playings, with the PGA of America’s financial offer below the $3 million the club

earned for the 2006 playing. Medinah collected about $12 million for hosting the Ry-der Cup, some of which was used to renovate the club’s No. 1 course.

Ten vie for Hall of FameThis year’s Illinois Golf

Hall of Fame class is sure to be distinguished.

But who among the 10 finalists will get the nod from the selection committee?

That won’t be known until Selection Night, Wed., May 13, when the members of the 19-strong committee hear presentations from rep-resentatives of the 10 final-ists.

They range from a leg-endary player from a century ago to a leading architect of the golden age to notable pro-moters of the game today.

The final 10, listed al-phabetically:

Junior SceneReilly, Freeman take titles


The junior golf season was jump-started on the first weekend of May, with Joe Reilly scor-ing a victory in an Illinois Junior Golf Associa-tion Spring Sectional tournament at Gleneagles in Lemont on Sat., May 2, and Austin Freeman win-ning by two strokes at the 36-hole White Pines Open in Bensenville.

Freeman scored 1-under-par 71 to total 2-over 146 at White Pines on Sun., May 3 to hold off fast-closing Joseph Addante of Algonquin.

Addante’s 2-under 70 on the West Course was the round of the tournament, but his opening 78 handcuffed his comeback. Freeman had opened with a 75, and his total held up.

Jonathan Nocek (149) of Bloomingdale was third, Grant Godsen (150) of West Chicago fourth, with Flossmoor’s Jack Mulligan, Edwards’ Ethan Uken and Wheaton’s Luke Armbrust fifth (151).

At Gleneagles, Reilly’s 7-over-par 79 was good enough for a one-stroke victory over Jakob Muehlschlegel of South Elgin.

Reilly, from Clarendon Hills, speckled his scorecard with three birdies, including one on the par-3 16th of Gleneagles’ Red Course, to sew up the title. Conversely, Muehlschlegel triple-bo-geyed the 16th.

And so the seemingly never-ending IJGA / Mid-American Junior Golf Tour season began. Remarkably, officials will oversee more than 80

tournaments, with nearly every weekday and Sat-urday on the calendar filled beginning in June, once school is out, until mid-August, when the IHSA season, once preeminent and now more of a wind-down campaign, begins.

There was a time when a player could con-vnice a coach to offer a scholarship with solid play during the prep season. That day has almost completely passed.

The rise of competitive junior golf on the lo-cal, regional and national level – the latter via the American Junior Golf Association, which built a full-scale tour around the traditional titles of-fered by the USGA, WGA, WWGA and various regional groups – means the better juniors have to show their stuff in the summer.

In Illinois, the IJGA’s regular schedule and the MAJGT tournaments it offers give players that chance. Some, for better or worse, even offer points in national rankings.

Sarah Cho picked a fine time to collect her first college championship.

The Northwestern freshman won the Big Ten individual title on April 26, and in doing so, led the Wildcats to a share of the conference title with Ohio State at The Fort in Indianapolis.

Cho, a native of San Diego, added a 1-under-par 71 in the final round to a 72-70 start to total 3-under 213 and win the solo crown by a stroke over Ohio State’s Katja Pogacar and Maryland’s Juliet Vongphoumy.

That also led the Wildcats, who totaled 1-un-der 863 – the best four of six scores counting each day – to match Ohio State. Purdue was third, nine strokes back.

Shared or outright, it’s the second Big Ten title in three years for Northwestern and head coach Emily Fletcher, though Ohio State won the automatic NCAA bid on a conference tiebreaker.

The Wildcats made up a six-stroke deficit on the Buckeyes on Sunday, with sophomore Kacie Komoto’s 2-under 70 leading the field on the par 72, 6,221-yard course, and Cho right behind with her 71, a score matched by sophomore Suchaya Tangkamolprasert, who added 17 pars to a lone birdie. The trio’s 4-under total was complement-ed by the even-par 72 carded by freshman Han-nah Kim.

Cho was the only player in the field at par or
