17 July 2005 - Louisville, KY - With just three players breaking 80, Eddie Coy used three consistent rounds, 24, 25 and 26, for a 54 hole total of 75, 33 under par, and a two stroke victory over Randy Reeves in the 2005 PPA Bluegrass Open.

Coy lead by one stroke after the first round (24) and second round (49) before pulling away to his eventual two stroke margin of victory. Kevin Lacey finished in third at 79 posting a final round 25 with David McCaslin, Nate Nichols and Brad Lebo in a tie for fourth at 82.

Unlike the Kentucky Classic where Ricky Schults lead from the opening round, Schults needed a final round 27 to move into a tie for the lead and a playoff victory over Zach Smith before earning the Bluegrass Open title. Dennis Biesma and Andy McCoy were tied for the lead at 57 after 36 holes but each faced difficult final rounds posting rounds of 32 and 33 respectively. Smith posted a final round 26 to move from two strokes off the lead into a tie with Schults at 85 to force the playoff. Jeff Brown and Terry Sanner tied for third at 88 with Anthony Russell and Dennis Biesma in a tie for fifth at 89.
