CHAMPAIGN — Big Ten Golfer of the Year Thomas Detry and U.S. Open qualifier Nick Hardy return to coach Mike Small’s Illini men’s squad this season, and the team is poised to repeat its past success.
“I am really looking forward to getting the team back together this fall and continuing our quest for Big Ten and NCAA championships,” Small said of the upcoming season, which will kick off Sept. 12 at the Northern Intercollegiate at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove.
“This fall will present the perfect opportunity for our players to continue to grow as both individuals and as a team, and to help set the table for a solid and successful 2015-16 season.
