Well, Rockford's Brad Benjamin continues his summer to remember with a thrilling playoff victory over U of I head golf coach & Aurora native Mike Small in the Illinois Open today up at Hawthorn Woods Country Club.
While Benjamin may be the story, check this out. On the 18th hole, Small played hit his shot off the rocks and onto the green, giving himself a chance to save par and extend the playoff.
Unfortunately, he couldn't capitalize, but what great theater!
