Jim Ousley of Tippecanoe Country Club defeated the
wind, rain, and 84 of his fellow PGA Professionals to take his second
Pepsi Club Car Tournament Series victory Monday at Sagamore Golf Club.
Starting out on the back nine in a constant drizzle, he managed a strong
start of four pars, but jump-started his round at the 14th.
After a solid drive and second shot, he holed-out an 85-yard pitch from
over bunkers for eagle, which was only one of two eagles from the entire field all day. Four more pars allowed him to turn under par.
“But the highlight of the day was when I striped a
5-iron to three feet and made birdie on 9,” said Ousley. That birdie
recovered his score after a bogey on 8. He finished the day with a 69,
which was unmatched by the strong field of professionals anxious for the
spring season to start.
Ousley’s first Tournament Series win came in 2009 in similar weather conditions at Broadmoor Country Club.
Mike O’Toole of Riverside finished runner-up with
70, and defending champion Bill Schumaker of Crooked Lake finished third
with a 71.
