The two seniors are almost out of here.
Illinois golfers Nick Hardy and Dylan Meyer started play in the NCAA Columbus regional on Monday, helping the Illini end the first round in third place. If it goes well the rest of the week — and it usually does for Mike Small's team — Hardy and Meyer will close their Illinois careers at the NCAA finals May 25-30 in Stillwater, Okla.
Then, Hardy and Meyer will turn pro. They will seek fame and fortune on the PGA Tour.
But they will be back.
Probably a lot.
