“I haven't seen anything like the stretch that Davis is on right now since that time He's just continued to blossom … he's been working out relentlessly he's always working on his craft whether it's on the baseball field or in a gym or swinging the bat.” Weeks is honing his craft on the mound for the Eagles who are 16-5 overall and at 6-1 are a game out of first place in the Mid-Illini Conference through Thursday He’ll be a two-way player at Michigan State meaning he’ll pitch as well as play in the field And Weeks has a secret weapon to help with his pitching “like if I miss the spot or he sees something that I need to work on He just helps a lot with my mechanics but usually that's to do my thing The former Major League pitcher and pitching coach is on the Eagles coaching staff He’s imparting his wisdom following a career that included 467 MLB pitching appearances from 1993 to 2009 for Pittsburgh “It’s a steady progression (of his development),” Shouse said Here’s the limit of what we think he can or can’t do He’s been able to take that and apply a lot of things we’ve talked about and what he’s done and what he feels.” Shouse says Weeks has always relied on his fastball that sits around 90-92 MPH and has topped out at 93 MPH who is 3-2 with 49 strikeouts and a 1.98 ERA in 28.1 innings utilizing his secondary pitches has come as a bit of a challenge to him That’s where Shouse has seen the most improvement “The changeup and breaking ball,” the Bradley baseball hall of famer said “have both been very consistent and better He’s always had a decent feel for the changeup He’s knowledgeable of the game and very good at listening and applying and trying to understand the process of what we’re trying to do … I think there’s still a little bit higher ceiling for him with the pitching part.” Weeks is looking to continue the success of last season while sharing the Mid-Illini Conference title with East Peoria Dunlap also claimed a Class 3A regional championship for the first time since 2019 “I think our potential has grown a ton,” Weeks said “I see this team going and making a deep run possibly even making it to Joliet (for the state finals) I know that's our goal and I think we can do it “We've been playing really well recently.” Adam Duvall is a Journal Star sports reporter AZ — A woman is seriously hurt after she was pulled from a burning home in Glendale Friday night Glendale fire officials say they were called to the area near 43rd and Dunlap avenues for a reported fire Firefighters pulled a woman from the burning home She was reportedly in critical condition when she was taken to the hospital The woman is believed to be the only person living in the home Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to other nearby buildings The cause of the fire is under investigation Report a typo This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page AUGUSTA, Ga. -- One day after shooting a stunning 18-over 90 in the opening round of the Masters, Nick Dunlap improved his score by 19 shots Friday carding a 1-under round of 71 to miss the cut and finish 17-over "I had more of a knot in my stomach today than I've ever had starting a round of golf," Dunlap said "I had not a very good gut feeling about it stepping up today Proud of myself to post something under par." Dunlap's turnaround is tied for the largest round-to-round improvement in any major in the past 50 years, according to ESPN Research. (At the 2018 U.S. Open, Rickie Fowler shot an 84 in the third round and followed it with a 65 in the final round.) Dunlap's day was the second-largest round-to-round improvement in Masters history Craig Wood fired an 88 in the first round and then a 67 in the second round the 21-year-old Dunlap became the first Masters competitor in a decade and the youngest in history to shoot 90 in a tournament round but he hit only six fairways on his way to 1 triple bogey "I think a lot of people would have maybe backed out Dunlap won twice on the PGA Tour in his debut season last year including once as an amateur at the American Express but he arrived in Augusta after missing three straight cuts Dunlap went back to his Airbnb to hit more golf balls went to a nearby Target to get him 12 kinds of golf balls to hit into the woods with his driver It's the club that appears to be the biggest problem for Dunlap; he hit only five fairways Friday "I tried my hardest to enjoy today for whatever it's worth It's just very frustrating that my game is at this point and it's hard not to try to focus on that," Dunlap said It doesn't really love me back right now." Nick Dunlap missed the cut at the Masters but improved his score by 19 shots Friday after shooting a stunning 18-over 90 in the opening round. Michael Reaves/Getty ImagesDunlap said that his struggles have been creeping in since the Hero World Challenge in December but that they have gotten worse in recent weeks "I'm hitting hundreds of golf balls that not everybody can see I think my 3-wood on 15 was the first free golf swing I've probably had in four weeks." Dunlap made birdie -- his fourth of what was then a bogey-free round his under-par round is not a sign that things are suddenly fixed Yet even he could take solace in the fact that he didn't just come back for more after Thursday but was able to patch together an under-par round given what he had gone through the day prior "You try to have fun even though it can be quite frustrating at times and especially right now it's hard to find something fun about it," Dunlap said "But I got to come out and play Augusta today Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application and servant was suddenly transferred to the presence of his Heavenly Father and Savior for future missions and angelic assignments on March 11th Those left behind are mourning the loss of this noble and great man but the angels are simultaneously cheering to now utilize his great energy reaching out to every soul he met;

I can’t lie: my main goal was just making the cut. But fast forward to Saturday night and I was in the lead. The next morning I was going out in the final group with Justin Thomas and Sam Burns. The final group. Of a PGA Tour event. With those guys. I didn’t get much sleep that night. I kept my phone off for the most part. My family and friends were down there with me. I’d had a pretty successful junior career, I’d played in some big events and two U.S. Opens. But this was just a whole other thing. A month earlier I was cramming for finals, you know? Now I’m supposed to go shake JT’s hand and try to beat him on a Sunday? Sunday morning, I went out to get some fresh air and clear my mind. I put my headphones in and I just walked around the neighborhood in Palm Springs. It was calm. The air was a little crisp. It was just quiet. I felt like I had the most important four and a half hours of my life coming up, and I’d see people drive by on their way to church or wherever they were going, and they looked completely at peace. I kind of wondered if I looked the same to them. On the inside I felt the same nerves I’d felt so many times before. I think that’s kind of a beautiful thing about golf. Like, in that moment, that round was the most important thing to me. And it’s the same feeling you have in a junior tournament, or in a club championship, or whatever it might be. It’s completely familiar but still unique every time. I’ve always had this thing about challenges. I don’t want to say it’s a trick I can play on my mind. It’s more just like…. Man, I love when people think I can’t do something. And I knew what everyone thought when I got up to the first tee. Or when I hit my ball in the water on 7. Or when I was down with a few holes to go. I live for that sort of thing. That’s why I’m out here. Golf is all about that. There’s a hundred-plus guys in the field each week, what are the odds I win? Low. I like that. I talked to Hunter a lot that round. I don’t like to stay quiet when I’m super nervous. I like to be vocal. I like to talk about what I’m feeling. He kept me in the right state of mind the whole day and gave me the confidence to be myself, to be the player I know I can be. Orlando Ramirez/Getty ImagesWhen that final putt went in, and I was a PGA Tour winner….. I don’t know….. It’s pretty hard to put into words even now. It’s exactly what I dreamed of so many times as a kid. To do it as an amateur and be the first one to win on tour since Phil in ’91? Just surreal. I look back on it now a year later and I don’t think I quite understood the stakes. And maybe that was for the best. The way my life would change after that Sunday in all these sudden, crazy ways — I just never would have believed it. I had to let my team know I was turning pro. (That was probably the last time I thought about stats class, until I sat down to write this.) I had a great talk with our athletic director, Greg Byrne. He and Coach Seawell have been in my corner for so long and they just wanted what was best for me, the person. That meant so much. It was a big decision for me because I’m from Birmingham. I’d grown up always dreaming of going to Bama. We had season tickets and some of my favorite memories were going to Alabama football games. I have a really special relationship with Coach Seawell. He was the first person to recruit me. Alabama was a lot more than just a school to me. It was a continuation of home. It was in my blood. I feel very lucky to have been at the University of Alabama. So it just took me some time. And I worked at my game really hard to get it to the point where I felt like my “good” was good enough. My “bad” still needs work, I know that. But when I get it going in the right direction I know I can do well out here. Winning the Barracuda in July showed me that I’m on the right path. Angela Wang/The Players' TribuneI think, in golf, or in life, it’s easy to get caught up in the results. And out here on tour that can happen a lot. Every shot, every round, every event, there’s a result. A number beside your name. Strokes gained on every swing, every putt. Points to be gained and lost. Standings for this and that. It’s a lot. And if you don’t stop every once in a while, if you don’t just look around and enjoy the process, I think it’s easy to get lost out here. I don’t know if I have any resolutions this year, but I’m trying to do more of that. To enjoy every win, big or small. First year was pretty good. Can’t wait for what’s next. See you out there.

he’d merely gain some valuable experience hopefully make the cut and then head back to Tuscaloosa to continue his ascendant college career he had the option to take up immediate membership on PGA Tour to his friends and his teammates and his cushy life sounded sweet and endearing; it just wasn’t practical endured a few growing pains as he learned about pro life in real time and then steadied himself enough by summertime to win again This season has had a few bright spots too: a top-10 at Sony another decent showing in a signature event at Torrey Pines But problems began to leak into his swing last December and have gradually gotten worse he had little clue where the ball was headed Worse still were his driving stats: 186th on Tour Losing more than a shot and a half on the field with the driver every time he teed it up “I’m hitting hundreds of golf balls that not everybody can see,” he said his swing flaws exposed in unimaginable ways He played from wrong fairways and hit only six greens and shot an 18-over 90 despite not three-putting a single green “It’s like trying to bench press more than what you can and then put more weight on that and try to do it That’s kind of where I’m at off the tee right now,” Dunlap said “I’m trying to do something that I don’t think is going to work in the first place so it’s very hard to step up there and see something good happening.” Dunlap’s first-round shocker wasn’t the highest score in Masters history – that honor who shot 95 in 1956 – but it sent Dunlap into a darker place than he ever could have imagined a year ago He thought briefly about withdrawing from the event “But I would never let myself do that,” he said But Dunlap still had trepidation as he drove down Magnolia Lane Friday morning About what horrors could possibly await him now “I had more of a knot in my stomach today than I’ve ever had starting a round of golf,” he said Dunlap tried to muster as much positive energy as he could he chatted with caddie Hunter Hamrick about anything other than what was unfolding in front of them even while woefully out of position off the tee He cautiously navigated his way around Amen Corner and added another birdie on the par-5 15th “was the first free golf swing I’ve probably had in four weeks.” It defied all logic and belief; had he parred in to the clubhouse he would have set the Masters record for the largest single-day improvement But Dunlap was quick to remind us that he wasn’t magically fixed overnight that there’s something broken deep inside and he’s trying to repair it in front of the biggest audience of the year “The problem didn’t just go away,” he said Dunlap answered from reporters all 21 questions he was asked about what he thinks of this pro life now that he’s experienced elation and embarrassment in equal measure “It’s extremely rewarding and extremely humbling and frustrating at the same time,” he said “Professional golf can be a very lonely place You get to travel to a lot of historic and unbelievable places like this one even though it can be quite frustrating at times and especially right now it’s hard to find something fun about it But I got to come out and play Augusta today of the sheer fact that he even showed up for his second round at all He’s hoping that the feeling of his striped 3-wood on 15 will carry him for the next few days He’s hoping that he’s found the direction he wants to go with his game “It’s just very frustrating that my game is at this point It just doesn’t really love me back right now.” A Division of NBCUniversal DISCLAIMER: This site and the products offered are for entertainment purposes only and there is no gambling offered on this site This service is intended for adult audiences No guarantees are made for any specific outcome If you or someone you know has a gambling problem .css-s4id4f{font-family:Suisse Intl,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:1.9rem;line-height:2.2rem;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:-0.01em;}Official Money Nick Dunlap cards a 71 in the second round of the 89th Masters Tournament after opening with a round of 90 on Thursday. (Michael Reaves/Getty Images) AUGUSTA, Ga. – The exit strategy was obvious and nobody would’ve blamed him if he took it. Nick Dunlap, the 21-year-old two-time TOUR winner, had just signed for 90 in the first round of the Masters Tournament and the thought of handing in his card, throwing his clubs in the car and driving down to Hilton Head, South Carolina, or Jupiter, Florida, or as far away as he could get from Augusta National Golf Club crossed his mind. That’s not Dunlap’s speed. “I would never let myself do that,” he said. Instead, his trainer fetched him dozens of refurbished balls from a nearby Target, and Dunlap spent Thursday night pounding them into the woods behind his Airbnb. “I don't know if there was any houses or anything back there,” Dunlap sheepishly admitted Friday. Given Dunlap’s mental state, the thought probably never crossed his mind. He was past feeling angry, that dissipated early in Thursday’s round, the worst at the Masters since Ben Crenshaw shot 91 in 2015. Instead, it was disappointment, a fair share of bewilderment and likely, some stubbornness. Right now, he has no answers. He’s missed his last four cuts by considerable margins. “It's hard to put everything you have into something and feel like you're not getting any better,” Dunlap said Friday after finishing in last. The issue is clear. The fix is not. Dunlap’s driver has completely abandoned him. While he ranks above average in Strokes Gained: Approach, Around the Green and Putting this season, Dunlap ranks dead last on TOUR in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee. Simply, he’s lost all confidence in the club. Every hole starts with the same question: hit and hope with a driver, or take a 3-wood, lose valuable distance off the tee and play from a disadvantage? On Friday, he opted for the latter. Apart from three or four occasions, he kept the headcover on the driver and bunted his way around Augusta National. Largely, it worked. He shot 1-under 71. But it’s no way to play consistently. “The problem didn’t just go away,” Dunlap said. Dunlap was not a good driver of the ball last year, but he was far from this. He believes the bad tendencies have slowly crept into his swing since the Hero World Challenge. The club head has gotten too inside on the takeaway, and at the top of the backswing the clubface has been too open and his hands have been too low. Over the last month, he’s tried to solve it with swing coach Josh Gregory. Nothing has yielded consistent results. “I don't have very clear thoughts at all when I'm on the golf course right now,” Dunlap said. “... “Yesterday was like trying to hold on to a rope, and you can't hold on to it. It's a really, really bad feeling. You just can't stop it. It's just whatever bad can happen does happen. “I'm a competitor, and I love this game. It doesn't really love me back right now.” Dunlap made seven bogeys, four doubles, one triple, six pars and zero birdies on Thursday. It was the worst round of his pro career. It’s the type of round that makes you question how they got here and whether there’s any way back. Dunlap has thought about both. But he took pride in dusting himself off, returning to Augusta National, and posting a score on Friday. Billy Horschel texted him Thursday night, commending him for his fight and sending words of encouragement for their tee time the next day. Scottie Scheffler sent him a text, too. Will Zalatoris gave him a hug when they got to the golf course. Dunlap hit fewer fairways Friday than he did Thursday, but managed his way around the course and took advantage of the few opportunities he did have. He birdied Nos. 3, 4 and 8 to make the turn in 33, 10 shots better than the previous day. He was 4-under and bogey-free after another birdie 15, but he dropped shots on each of the final three holes to finish 1-under. Still, it was 19 shots better than the previous day. As they walked off the 18th, Horschel put his arm around Dunlap and gave him more words of encouragement. “I told him, ‘I’ve got a lot of respect for the way you handled it and you’ve earned a lot of respect from players and from the millions watching,” Horschel told to PGATOUR.COM. “I truly believe in karma, and he could’ve withdrawn, but he didn’t. I believe Karma is a b**** and I don’t know if he will go on to win next week, but the good karma will come around.” As Dunlap spoke to the media Friday night, there was one swing he was holding on to as the possible turning point: a 3-wood he hit on the 15th that was “the first free golf swing I've probably had in four weeks.” Maybe the start of the good karma coming Dunlap’s way? He was able to repeat the feel on 17 and 18 and felt good about the swings, even if it led to bogeys. Dunlap said it will take hundreds of shots at the range to test and drill into his swing. But it’s progress. He hasn’t seen that in weeks. “I think I know finally now what direction to head into,” Dunlap said. “Now I've just got to put in the time.” Will it work? Dunlap won’t stop until it does. Copyright © 2025 PGA TOUR, Inc.

Fifty yards away, on the first tee, the golfer Nick Dunlap knew the truth But faced with a second-round option of fight-or-flight give him credit — he showed up,” a spectator on the first tee said if you played the first round you always played the second But the second-round WD has become commonplace over the past couple decades Nick Dunlap was getting credit just for being there For access to all of Michael Bamberger’s writing, join InsideGOLF today Dunlap’s Thursday score — 90 18 over par — told the public what he’s known for a while But a score of 90 brings it into sharp relief And now the man was calling him to the tee with Augusta’s oldest song: Fore please — now driving. Dunlap’s playing partners taking the fore-right concession stands and a TV booth out of play Dunlap’s opening salvo on Thursday was a bullet headed for the left trees. The nightmare was continuing He walked up the big hill on one 50 yards away from his playing partners.  He made a nifty up-and-down par on one and by the time he got to the 10th tee he was three under for the day Some of the scoreboards listed scores for MacIntyre and Horschel but left a blank next to Dunlap’s name Maybe the scoreboard operators thought they were doing him a favor They used to do that for Billy Casper and Charlie Coody when they were struggling to break 90 Dunlap was playing one of the best rounds of the day It wasn’t fairways-and-greens – not by any means his drive on 11 (with a driver) was close to the 14th green Right about then, Rory McIlroy was in the Press Building, telling reporters about his second-round 66 He described a moment in his Thursday round where he (as European players have said forever) lost the head after chipping into the water from over the 15th green He described some second-round self-talk where he said whether it shows up on the scorecard or not McIlroy was asked about Dunlap and the art of turning things around “It reminds me of a story at Memorial the other way I shot 63 the first round at Memorial in 2014 and backed it up with a 79 ‘How the hell did you shoot 16 shots more today than yesterday?’ It’s championship golf; it can be volatile The momentum can start to go the wrong way on you We’re all capable of shooting good scores.” Dunlap had a small gallery walking with him When he won the American Express tournament in February 2024 swing coaches and college coaches were there “He fights,” Dunlap’s mother said as she walked up the big hill on 18 Three under turned to four under with a birdie on 15 but Dunlap closed with three straight bogeys when you’re getting through a round on smoke and mirrors you can’t get to the house quickly enough If anything should tell you he has a chance to reclaim his old game To play this private-war game at its highest levels you have to be ruthlessly honest with yourself Asked to compare how he felt about himself and his golf game “About the same.” It’s a stunning admission A year and two months into his wildly successful and uneven professional career Dunlap offered this assessment of the experience: “It’s extremely rewarding and extremely humbling and frustrating at the same time I think professional golf can be a very lonely place — especially when you’re playing poorly.” Dunlap hit dozens of balls — bought on an emergency basis at an Augusta Target in every brand and color the store had — in the backyard of his rental house “It’s like I’m trying to bench press more than what you can and then put more weight on that,” he said “I’m trying to do something that I don’t think is going to work in the first place so it’s very hard to step up there and see something good happening.” Horschel put his right hand on Dunlap’s back as they walked to the scorer’s room and told him he was proud of Dunlap for gutting out that second round Dunlap looked worn out and shell-shocked as he made his way in “I’m never going to quit,” he said.  He’s playing next week at Hilton Head Michael Bamberger welcomes your comments at Michael.Bamberger@Golf.com Michael Bamberger writes for GOLF Magazine and GOLF.com.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Kelly (@kprc2laurenkelly) – Golfers who play for a living often reach a moment when enthusiasm needs bolstering with endurance when the return on hard work is so paltry that the tailspin feels irreversible who had crippling chipping issues a decade ago whose putter morphed from a weapon to a liability once an imperious driver of the ball who became the favorite golfer of personal injury lawyers hard work and determination don’t guarantee one will avoid the famously fatalistic Murphy’s Law which says the light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train Woods and Watson emerged from their trials — Tiger fully but for now he’s evidence that even a 21-year-old with a couple of PGA Tour wins and a few million dollars in earnings isn’t immune to the cruelties of this game he opened the Masters by hitting a fairway metal into the trees left of the first fairway his driver was on the ground long before his ball came to rest near an adjoining fairway His tee shot on the 5th disappeared right and cost him a penalty 18 that was so short and far left that a marshal was obviously shocked to hear a ball clattering around behind him in the trees so close to the tee 25 strokes off the lead and 11 worse than anyone else in the field But it’s what Dunlap did next that made him the most impressive professional among the 95 who began the 89th Masters didn’t manufacture “personal reasons” for a WD He came back to Augusta National and tried just as hard as he had Thursday he provided a sobering beacon of professionalism at a time when it’s sorely needed at the elite level of men’s golf but the raw number did scant justice to the achievement “About the same,” is how Dunlap dejectedly compared two days separated by 19 shots It's hard to put everything you have into something and feel like you're not getting any better When he met the media afterward — noteworthy in itself since not everyone would have done so — Dunlap didn’t sugarcoat his situation “I've just got to work some stuff out off the tee,” he said admitting that he used 3-wood more than his driver during the second round “I'm trying to do something that I don't think is going to work in the first place so it's very hard to step up there and see something good happening.”  More: After Nick Dunlap opened the Masters with a 90, he shot 71 in a remarkable display of grit He spent Thursday night hitting them into the woods behind his Airbnb (an industrious kid will find that home and head out with a couple of pails to collect them for resale.) When he stepped onto the tee at 12:50 p.m he confessed to having a huge knot in his stomach He wound up hitting even fewer fairways than on Thursday — five versus six — but saved more than a stroke per hole against his first round he finished six strokes worse than any other competitor but far ahead in terms of professional reputation One of the guys who played with Dunlap knows something of the suffering peculiar to struggling golfers Billy Horschel shot 84 in the first round of the Memorial and fought back tears as he described the frustration and despair he took a moment to tell Dunlap how much he admired him for turning up “There's a lot of things I could have done that would make me a lot more happy,” Dunlap said softly He says his issues with the driver began a few weeks ago (just as a superstitious theater actor never mentions Macbeth He missed three straight cuts after his T-17 finish at the Genesis Invitational two months ago “You get to travel to a lot of historic and unbelievable places like this one You try to have fun even though it can be quite frustrating at times Brendon Todd was a PGA Tour winner who contracted driver yips is an awfully strong foundation on which to build “I love this game,” Dunlap said before heading out of Augusta National sounding like generations of golfers who went before him “It doesn't really love me back right now.”  You are using an outdated browser.

accomplish for the city the Pucker Street Dam project is one he is especially proud of “It was difficult to visualize what that could become and it  turned out better than we expected,” Dunlap said “Our fish and wildlife service representative said that we’re the model for other places that have aging games I get calls from places asking ‘how did you do it what did you do,’ because we stepped up and did what’s right and not necessarily was the cheapest or what corporate America would have done traditionally it’s gonna be there forever and that’s beautiful.” Mosher is looking forward to

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Nick Dunlap didn’t go to the range after he shot 90 in the opening round of the 89th Masters Tournament “He wanted to get out of here,” said Dunlap’s longtime sports psychologist Bhrett McCabe His body was moving so fast and as it continued to spiral Dunlap asked his University of Alabama trainer Dunlap turned the lights on at the back of his Augusta Airbnb and hit balls into the woods until almost midnight “He said he was going to work to get it right until he can’t get it wrong,” said Holter “I don’t think he slept an hour,” said his father Dunlap admitted to thinking about not showing up for the second round but would never let that happen “I’ve never withdrawn from anything,” he said Dunlap’s mother Charlene got emotional on Amen Corner when she talked about the support her son had received from fellow players from the moment he got out of the car Friday morning at Augusta National From Will Zalatoris to Scottie Scheffler to Billy Horschel Horschel also works with McCabe and told him focus on Dunlap last night Dunlap sent McCabe a text Friday morning that said: “I will find a way to shoot under par.” “I’m about to go play Augusta National in wind and I’ve got no idea.” Dunlap hasn’t felt good on the tee for the better part of a month the 21-year-old was the breakout star of the season becoming the first player in PGA Tour history to win as both an amateur and a professional in the same season Dunlap fashioned together one remarkable par save after another The marshals worked hard to move patrons out of the way as he and his caddie paced off yardage from places most players have never seen Dunlap was 4 under on the day through 15 holes and on pace to break Craig Wood’s 21-stroke turnaround in 1936 when he shot 88-67 in the first two rounds Dunlap made three consecutive bogeys coming in 19 strokes better than his nightmarish start “Yesterday was like trying to hold on to a rope and you can't hold on to it,” he told scribes after the round Jim Dunlap believes days like that are 10 times worse for parents than they are for players He felt so bad he wanted to cry watching Nick card four double-bogeys and a triple in that opening 90 “You don’t want your kids to hurt,” said Jim "and then you see them out there in pain and you just want to go out and hug them Dunlap hit only five fairways in Round 2 and nine greens He made one clutch putt after another in a remarkable display of guts and grit “I had more of a knot in my stomach today than I've ever had starting a round of golf,” he said McCabe noted that Dunlap felt bad about not meeting with the press after Thursday’s 90 he answered every question in a patient and measured tone a lot of – it's hard to put everything you have into something and feel like you're not getting any better.” The 3-wood he hit on the 15th tee was the first free golf swing he’s had in four weeks “I guess the best idea I can give you without something golf related is it's like trying to bench press more than what you can and then put more weight on that and try to do it,” said Dunlap “That's kind of where I'm at off the tee right now.” the old-fashioned scoreboard near the putting green didn’t have Dunlap’s score listed Robert MacIntyre and Horschel were both 4 over though he would’ve been 18 over coming into that hole The scorers apparently thought it was too bad to list a sympathy omission that's typically reserved for aging past champions Dunlap’s score went back on the board as he made his way in and around the Georgia pines Dunlap’s demeanor and fight offered a powerful lesson for youngsters and parents McCabe has long said that Dunlap is a 35-year-old living in a 21-year-old’s body He had the worst day of his life on the golf course Thursday “I didn’t want him to withdraw because I didn’t want a year of the fear of Augusta National being in the back of his head,” said McCabe “You have to chase things like that and you have to face them front on

pitched 18th fairway on a breezy blue-sky Thursday at Augusta National already on the green and sizing up their birdie tries resembled what we’ve seen at so many Masters Sundays past: the champion enjoying a victor’s stroll up the par-4 last The murmurs of the patrons standing behind the viewing pen left of the green How in the hell do you do that?!

The Dunlap Education Association an organization of over 300 District #323 staff members During Humbles’ time as a board member, she said the district has made significant improvements to its special education programs, initiated the construction of a new athletic training facility, engaged a construction management company for a new Wilder-Waite Elementary School building and reduced the property tax levy for four consecutive years she plans to advocate for educational pathways for students who may not be attending college “Maybe they want a nursing degree, or they want to take classes for welding or HVAC or plumbing,” she said. “We do have some partnerships with ICC (Illinois Central College) on those particular things but I know that sometimes transportation can be difficult for certain students We are always looking for ways to make improvements and offer more things for all our students.” Humbles believes the campaign to remove her as school board president is something that comes with serving in the public sector we have to endure some negative comment,” she said the results of the Dunlap School District are astoundingly positive That doesn't mean that we don't take into consideration comments from parents He considers the district’s most pressing needs to be more classroom space and the retention or recruitment of talented teachers and administrators Feldman is the chief executive officer of Center for Health He said his business experience has made him familiar with the challenges of bringing in and retaining quality employees “As someone who operates a large business within the district boundaries I know all too well how difficult it is to retain and recruit talented people to fill all our positions,” Feldman said “We need to find ways to be a destination for people working in the field of education.” The Dunlap Special Education Alliance based its endorsement of Feldman on his steadfast advocacy for making learning opportunities more accessible to special needs students “This proactive and inclusive perspective is why Mr Feldman is a strong and accessible advocate on the board for special education frequently demonstrating that he is not afraid to ask the hard questions and explain the reasoning behind his decisions,” the endorsement read Feldman said he disapproves of the campaign against Humbles because he believes negative campaigns of any type tend to drive voters away from the polls and distract the public from policy issues that should be more important to them He encouraged all Dunlap district voters to focus on the candidates and their ideas “Voter turnout in local spring elections is historically low running often comfortably below 20%,” he added local issues are the things that most often impact our lives every day.” Steve Hodel runs for Dunlap school boardLike Feldman Hodel believes Dunlap's most pressing needs are adequate classroom space and retention of teachers and staff Other key issues include managing proper technology use in classrooms student mental health services and improving resources and special education services for students “I was appointed to fill a vacancy on the board last August,” Hodel said I have worked hard to serve on various committees and have met individually with a number of leaders in the district to build relationships and learn how I can best serve as a board member.” “But the success of Dunlap schools is inarguable Abby Humbles has balanced every competing need exceptionally well.” Meet the challengersOther than their quest to become new members Boudjarane and Hall have several things in common Both are emphatically in favor of more transparency on the school board and more vocational training opportunities the need to address overcrowded facilities is among the district’s most critical concerns the Dunlap Special Education Alliance noted that he is a new arrival to the district but has quickly made himself a presence in Dunlap with his “empathy and understanding.” “His experience as a prosecutor with the State's Attorney's Office gives him valuable insight into the challenges our youth are facing,” the endorsement added Boudjarane believes his criminal justice experience gives him a unique perspective on special needs students because he has worked with a variety of special needs individuals of all ages A task force consisting of law enforcement could work together to determine and help address the root cause of students’ behavioral issues  “The schools have been extremely overpopulated,” Boudjarane said “And the teacher to student ratio has been making it harder for each student to get the attention they need to succeed.” To address a perceived lack of transparency Boudjarane said he would work to ensure several teachers and administrators from various departments attend board meetings and inform the members of concerns and program improvements This will make sure the board is never able to say Boudjarane also plans to promote a trade program for the district believing that collaboration with ICC for vocational courses is inadequate to address the needs of 750 students many of whom cannot drive to the college campus in East Peoria Mick HallIn addition to practicing as a lawyer for over 30 years, Hall has taught for over 15 years at ICC and Illinois State University. He is also the president at Bard Optical He said his business experience has given him an understanding of various aspects of running successful organizations He highlighted his community engagement with Dunlap noting that he has volunteered thousands of hours as a coach and as an announcer for local football games “Mick Hall's passion for Dunlap's success is well-known and we are pleased that his vision includes robust vocational opportunities for all students including those with disabilities,” the endorsement from the Dunlap Special Education Alliance read “He has actively engaged with our community by attending various special education events and resource fairs to learn and understand the challenges facing our families both in and out of school.” Hall said the Dunlap school district's most pressing needs are more vocational opportunities; a sharper focus on specials needs programming and compliance; teacher and staff recruiting and retention; and additional buildings He believes in transparency at the school board level because stakeholders in the district deserve to know what board members stand for so we have the buildings and resources we need to provide opportunities for our students at all levels,” Hall said “This planning needs to include vocational and special needs opportunities while also continuing our support of an academically challenging environment for our students.” Highlights: Atlanta Drive GC vs. Boston Common Golf The TGL’s Atlanta Drive Golf Club is swapping one Alabama alum for another, at least for a day.
