On August 8-9, the Golfweek Hoosier Amateur was played on the Pfau Course at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The winner of the women’s division was Siarra Stout, a resident of Franklin, Tennessee and a sixth-year senior at Lipscomb University in Nashville. One shot back, Jocelyn Bruch, a redshirt sophomore at Purdue, finished runner-up.
Stout played well enough to win. After three back-nine bogeys, she rallied with a birdie at 16 followed by two closing pars at 17 and 18. 
“Anything can happen on this golf course, but I think it just helped me kind of keep my poise as I finished off 17 and 18,” said Stout afterwards.
In the men’s division of the Golfweek Hoosier Amateur, the winner was decided in a five-hole playoff between a Boilermaker and a Hoosier.
In the end, Noblesville’s Nels Surtani, a junior at Purdue, outlasted Cal Hoskins, an incoming freshman at IU, to win the title. To get in the playoff, Surtani, the 36-hole leader, had to make a downhill, six-foot putt to tie Hoskins at two-over-par after 54 holes.
Surtani fought fatigue in the playoff, but he had enough mental power to survive.
“I could tell I was getting fatigued and I really had to concentrate to stay in it,” remarked Surtani, afterwards.
