Mark Hensby and the University of Illinois also had a great showing on the green.
Last weekend was like no other as far as Illinois golf is concerned, and Nick Hardy's first PGA Tour win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans was just one of the extraordinary developments. PGA Tour Champions Mark Hensby, whose best golf came on Illinois courses years ago, notched his first win on the 50-and-over circuit in the Invited Celebrity Classic at Las Colinas in Texas.
"Now I can set a schedule. I know what I'm going to get in now," said Hensby, who earned $300,000 from the tourney's $2 million purse. The Illini finished solo second in the Big Ten in 1976, the school's first year with a women's golf team, and tied for second in 2018 and 2019. Wang was the fourth conference medalist from the school. Slone was the individual champion in both 1991 and 1993. Becky Beach and Becky Biel were also Big Ten medalists.
