CHAMPAIGN — Varun Chopra has spent a lot of nights at Illinois golf's practice facility. It's the time of day he prefers, particularly in the winter, to work on his game at the Demirjian Indoor Practice Facility.
Chopra finds plenty of motivation in the solitary nature of those practices.
Choosing to get in some extra work alone, though, is a different kind of lonely than the forced solo practice time last year when Chopra wasn't part of Illinois' travel contingent as a freshman. Still, the Champaign native and Uni High graduate continued to put in the work for coach Mike Small's program.
