Indiana golfers eager to get shot in home state

CARMEL -

Jeff Overton has been spending time at Crooked Stick Golf Club throughout the summer just hoping he'd be back in September.

Last weekend's seventh-place finish at The Deutsche Bank Championship made it a certainty.

Overton and Bo Van Pelt, both Indiana natives, are scheduled to tee off Thursday in the first round of the BMW Championship - the first professional tournament either has played in their home state.

While Crooked Stick has hosted the Solheim Cup and the U.S. Senior Open recently, the PGA Tour hasn't been back since John Daly's remarkable run to the 1991 PGA Championship.

So when Overton and Van Pelt saw Crooked Stick pop up on this year's schedule, both circled the calendar and started making plans for what they hoped would be a big weekend.
