Despite Brett Melton's best attempts to catch Jon Jozefowski
during the final round of the Indianapolis Open, he fell just a couple of shots
short. Jozefowski had a nearly flawless, bogey-free round today at Highland G
& CC and posted a 5-under-par 65, for a two day total of 131 and his first
Indiana Section PGA win.
"I was pretty pumped up all day,” said Jozefowski, an
Assistant Professional at Woodstock GC. "The
course is in perfect shape and it doesn’t hurt to have your best friend on the
bag. Tyler (caddie) kept me in it today
when I needed him and helped me stay confident.”
In two days of tournament play, Jozefowski only carded one
bogey, along with 10 birdies, and proved he can compete with the city’s top
players.
"This win really helps me gain more confidence,” Jozefowski
said. "It shows I can compete with some
really good players and I hope to continue to play well for the rest of the
summer. I’m really glad my family and
friends were here to share this moment with me.
It really means a lot.”
Jozefowski turned professional in the fall of 2013 after
participating on the University of Indianapolis Men’s Golf Team for four
years. He plans to play in as many
Indiana Golf events as his schedule allows this summer and he has set the bar
high for the remainder of his season.
Melton of the Country Club of Old Vincennes also had an
impressive tournament. He finished the
event at 7-under-par, with a two day total of 151. This is Melton’s first runner-up finish of
the 2014 tournament season.
Greenwood’s Sean Rowen had a tremendous round of 6-under-par
64 today, which secured him a third place finish along with Richmond’s Skip Runnels,

With the help of a hole-in-one on the 218 yard par 3, 10th
hole at Forest Hills CC, Brett Widner and teammate Donnie Aldrich were able to
post a best ball total of 3-under-par 68 on day one of the IGA Four Ball
Championship.
"Skip (Runnels), a member here, hit his tee shot on 10 to about
two feet,” Widner said. "I hit a hybrid
to the front of the green and Skip said he thought it might go in and it
did! It was my first one!”
Widner and Aldrich also carded two birdies today on the par 5, 4th
and the par 4, 6th.
"We made a lot of necessary par putts today,” Widner
said. "We play in a lot of team events
and have a few coming up in the next couple of weeks. It would be great to start off the season with a team win."
Teammates Brian Harris and Derek Moore and Tyler Haire and
Terry Geiger are currently tied for second at 2-under-par.

Dyer’s Terry Werner held on just long enough today at the
Indiana PGA Senior Open at Morris Park CC presented by Yamaha – Golf Cars
+. Werner began the day with a two-shot
lead over Quinn Griffing of Donald Ross GC, but as the day progressed Ted Kaperak
proved to be Werner’s biggest competition.
Kaperak carded a 1-under-par 69 today and finished the tournament at
2-over-par.
Meanwhile, Werner saw himself at 2-over-par, also, with just
two holes left to play. Werner hit his
approach shot close on the par 4, 17th hole and made his birdie putt
to get back to 1-over-par.
"I started hitting the ball better on the last six holes,”
Werner said. "But I have to admit I
still felt a little nervous on 18 because I knew I needed a par to win.”
With an easy two-putt par on 18, Werner captured his first
Senior Open victory.
"It feels terrific,” Werner said. "This was a great field with so many good
players. It feels good to see that all
of my hard work paid off. I feel pretty
accomplished.”
Griffing finished alone in third at 3-over-par.
