Bill Baus Completes Weekend Sweep with Hoosier Classic Bill Baus, winner of the 2003 Hoosier Classic Bill Baus and Scott Copeland (left to right) 22 June 2003 - Richmond, IN - Coming off his first-ever GLT title in the previous day’s Indiana Open, Bill Baus of Cleveland Heights, OH decided to start a collection of GLT plaques by completing a sweep of the weekend’s individual events. Baus fired a 78 to capture the Hoosier Classic by a one stroke margin over fellow Clevelander Bill Thompson on Richmond’s course 3, site of last year’s GLT Championship in which Thompson also finished as the runner-up. Baus and Thompson shared the lead at 25 at the end of the first round of play. In round two Baus came right back with a 26 to hold a one-shot lead over Gene Reams of Whitehall, OH. Thompson was two back at 53, tied with Roger Beckerman. Thompson, Beckerman and Reams had slow starts in the final round, but Baus, starting on the better scoring back nine, came out firing aces. When he got to the front nine, Baus cooled off as well, enabling Thompson to make a move. Thompson aced six in a row and was looking for one more at #4 to close out the round, but he was denied. Baus now needed aces at 9, 10 and 11 to clinch the victory, and the former National Seniors Champion responded with three aces. Baus earned both his second GLT Title and his second GLT spot. Scott Copeland, APA winner of the 2003 Hoosier Classic In the match play portion of the competition, Jim Cruse of Baltimore, OH earned his second GLT spot with a victory over John Napoli of Clearwater Beach, FL in the final match. Scott Copeland Beats Pro by Four to Take APA Title 22 June 2003 - Richmond, IN - The big story of the day was in the APA division where Springfield, Ohio’s Scott Copeland turned in the best performance of his putting career. Copeland was red hot all day, and his rounds of 23-27-24 totaled to a most impressive score of 74, four shots better than PPA winner Bill Baus. Copeland won by a baker’s dozen over Indianapolis’ Zach Smith who finished in a distant second place at 87. Copeland has now won four GLT APA titles this season and appears to be at the top of his game. Smith received a GLT spot. Anthony Amick won the APA match play with a final match victory over Zach Smith. Smith received his second GLT spot of the day. Scores provided and tournament recap provided by Bill Thompson.
