Golfing pro from Northbrook, Illinois, USA. For his collegiate golfing career, Hardy was a member of the men's team at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. The U.S. Open and the John Deere Classic are only two of the professional tournaments he has participated in. From the 2013 AJGA Stonehenge Junior Open to the 2015 Big Ten Championship, a tie with Carson Schaake, the 2016 Illinois State Amateur and Wolf Run Intercollegiate, the 2017 NCAA West Lafayette Regional (a tie with Andrej Bevins), and the 2018 Big Ten Championship, Nick Hardy amassed quite the collection of trophies during his amateur career. Nick Hardy, on the other hand, has failed to bring home any big hardware during his professional career. We anticipate a very challenging match and have high expectations for his performance.
