TERRE HAUTE —
Travis Turpen is the leader of the Show-Me’s Men’s City Tournament after one round.
The West Vigo girls and boys golf coach fired a 5-under-par 67 on Saturday in the first round at Rea Park and takes a one-shot lead over Dusty Jovanovich into the second round today at Rea Park.
Turpen had an early tee time and his score held up in the field of 99 with one player who had a late tee time still on the course at 5 p.m. Turpen went 33-34 with six birdies and a bogey.
Jovanovich was 33-35 with six birdies for 68.
Turpen and Jovanovich both are seeking their first championship in the Terre Haute Golf Association event.
Three former winners had 69 to tie for third with Charlie Kluesner, who had the lead after one round a year ago.
Rich Schelsky is the defending champ and has finished second twice in the past three years while Ted Kaperak has won eight times and Tom Jones has been the winner seven times.
Jones had six birdies in going 34-35 while Kluesner had four birdies and an Eagle for 37-32. Kaperak was 35-34 and Schelsky went 34-35.
Ryan Roscoe and Adam Carrington were the other players under par with 71s while Mike Roshel, Scott Hess, Tim Mundy, Larry Fossi and Russ Campbell all shot 72 as 18 players shot par or better in nearly ideal conditions with mild temperatures and little or no wind.
“The course was in the great shape. It was there for the taking,” said Schelsky.
“It is a long [event]. You can only lose it the first day. You can’t win it,” said Hess, another former winner.
The field will be flighted after today’s play for the final two rounds tentatively slated for Hulman Links on Saturday and back at Rea Park for the final round next Sunday.

Luck having fun with his first OTAs
A year ago, quarterback Andrew Luck was unable to attend the Indianapolis Colts’ organized team activity practices due to school commitments at Stanford.
Luck, though, went on to have a stellar year for the Colts despite the lack of summer work with the team. Still, in a sense, he is a rookie during this year’s OTA workouts.
“These are my first OTAs. I missed these last year, so I think it’s great. It’s great to get on the field with the defense and trouble-shoot some stuff. Obviously, some of us ran some of this stuff [offense] at Stanford [under new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton]. But to get out there with the defense and trouble-shoot some stuff is good,” Luck said Wednesday as the team wrapped up its first week of on-field voluntary practice sessions. -
