Finishing only one shot behind the leaders last year in the
Callaway PGA Team motivated Jamie Broce and Chris Clemens to go low and win
this year by two. Their round of 59 (11-under) at Kokomo CC gave them the victory over 2008
Team champions Denny and Ryan Ford. Over the past two years of teaming up together
for Indiana PGA team events, they have developed a friendship and an ability to
compete at a high level together. “I was
out of the hole three times and he made birdie on those holes,” said Broce. “We
made a ton of putts, it was a lot of fun.” Clemens added, “He’s a blast to play
with. I always enjoy it.”
The event was originally scheduled for Monday and Tuesday,
but heavy rains forced a cancellation of the first round and shortened the
final tournament of the year to 18 holes.
An important side note – this PGA Team marked the end of the
very successful and storied competitive golfing career of Jim Ferriell. He
teamed up with Gary Gant for his last competitive golf tournament.
