COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Illinois State Redbirds carded the second-lowest team round in program history – a one-under 287 – during the second round of the 2021 Johnie Imes Invitational, hosted by Missouri, despite golfing with only four in the scoring group due to an injury.
ISU's round of 287 is the fourth-lowest round in the tournament thus far, and is the second lowest in school history, behind only the 286 the team put up at last season's Mid-America Stroke Play Challenge. What made the feat even more remarkable was the fact that reigning MVC Golfer of the Week Maria Toledo Bailey did not play for ISU because of injury, leaving the team without a safety net of a throw-away score.
