Illinois rallied to beat Southern California in this morning's quarterfinals with Dylan Meyer still on the course but putting together a comeback of his own.
The interim between quarterfinal victory and semifinal showdown with Oklahoma (set for a 1:30 p.m. start) saw the Illini junior, who was a finalist for the Ben Hogan Award, earn PING First Team All-American honors by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Meyer finished sixth in the stroke play portion of the NCAA championship at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove. He was also the Big Ten Player of the Year and was a semifinalist for the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year Award.
