PGA Tournament Series

Apr 21, 2009

Indianapolis – Neither a strong field nor tough weather conditions tested Jim Ousley at the Indiana PGA season-opener. Ousley, PGA Professional at Tippecanoe Country Club in Monticello, claimed victory after firing a 4-under-par 68 in the Pepsi/Club Car Tournament Series at Broadmoor Country Club. He finished three shots ahead of runner up Mike O’Toole of Golf Galaxy.

Despite strong winds, cold temperatures and rain, Ousley stayed focused and managed seven birdies, including a chip-in on hole 5 and a holed-out bunker shot on the par-3 8th hole. Not having to putt on two greens contributed to his impressive 23 total putts. The other noteworthy statistic was that he only missed two fairways off the tee.

During the off-season, Ousley spent time in Florida concentrating on improving his putting as well as physical ability. “I worked with a physical therapist and golf trainer for stretching and strength training. I’m a little ahead of the game being this loose this time of year,” he said. Playing in four tournaments down south over the winter put him in solid position to compete back home in Indiana.

The Pepsi/Club Car Tournament Series continues June 8 at The Warren Golf Course in South Bend.
