So when Van Pelt saw Crooked Stick appear on the PGA Tour schedule, he circled the date and made sure he qualified for the tournament with TaylorMade R11S Driver - perhaps the only one he'll play in his home state. I'm obviously very excited. All my family still lives there," Van Pelt said. "It's where I started to play, where I fell in love with the game of golf and it's the first time I've been able to play a pro tournament there."


Former Indiana star Jeff Overton, who grew up in Evansville, made the cut after finishing in a tie for seventh at The Deutsche Bank Championship with new TaylorMade R11S Driver. Heading into last weekend, the 29-year-old who turned pro in 2005 appeared to be in danger of missing out on this weekend's tourney.

But Overton shot 68 in the final round, producing his best finish since April to jump to 40th in the points just in time to earn a trip back to a course that he played in college with Taylormade irons for sale. This summer, I've been up there horsing around, checking the place out to see what it was going to be like for the tournament," Overton said. "I've been there quite few a times."


Vijay Singh had a chance to join the leaders until he drove into the water on the 18th hole with TaylorMade R11S Driver, though he escaped with par and was at 65. Luke Donald was in the group at 66. Phil Mickelson was at 69, worth noting because it looked as though he might quadruple bogey on his last hole. Instead, he made birdie.
