M. Golf. Knoll Makes History at Illinois State Amateur

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- University of Iowa golfer Raymond Knoll tied for sixth at the 85th Illinois State Amateur Championship on Thursday. The junior recorded a four-round total of 281 (-3; 71, 72, 75, 63) at Panther Creek Country Club.

Knoll made history in his final round on Thursday. The Naperville, Illinois, native fired an eight-under-par 63 -- the best competitive round in the history of Panther Creek Country Club.

“I’ve never shot 63 in a competitive round,” said Knoll. “I’m definitely able to look at this, take a lot of positives from it, and know that I played well at the end of the week.
