The 25year-old right-hander also recorded five strikeouts. BY RICK WEST STATELINE NEWS SPORTS BELOIT — Golfer Jerry Kelly’s 13th season on the PGA Tour has been, appropriately enough, “a pretty strange year.” “It’s feast or famine this year,” said Kelly, of Madison, the featured pro at Monday’s 23rd annual Beloit Memorial Hospital Pro Am. Kelly started the season with a torn biceps, followed by a pulled thigh muscle. The first time his swing felt normal was mid-July in the John Deere Classic. “When you start feeling healthy, then you put a little more pressure on yourself,” he said. “Because you’ve lost a decent amount of time, you really want to get it back quick, so you press, and that doesn’t work.” Kelly has missed the cut in 11 of 21 tournaments this season. “At least I’ve done well in the tournaments that I’ve made the cut,” he said. When Kelly has made it to the weekend, he has three top-10 finishes, including a pair of seconds. His worst finish was 37th at last weekend’s Canadian Open. In 13 PGA seasons, Kelly has two wins, both coming in 2002, at the Hawaii Open and Western Open near Chicago. The 41-year-old turned pro in 1989 following graduation from the University of Hartford. In 1992, he won the Wisconsin State Open, and in 1995 finished No. 1 on the developmental Nike Tour. That earned him a full-year PGA exemption. “That was big,” Kelly said. “It was much easier knowing I was in than watching the guys just behind me struggle.” In his first year on tour, Kelly thrilled home-state fans by finishing second at the Greater Milwaukee Open, losing in a playoff to Loren Roberts. This year, Kelly skipped the PGA stop in Milwaukee to play in the British Open. “I always miss not being in Milwaukee,” Kelly said. “If it wasn’t for a major, I’d have been there. But you can’t skip majors; they’re career-makers.” Kelly failed to make the cut at Royal Birkdale, as he has in all three majors in 2008. “I haven’t done enough to say, ‘OK, I want to focus on the majors,’” Kelly said. “Every tour- STATELINE SPORTS KELLY GREENS Madison golfer discusses PGA struggles during stop at Beloit Hospital Pro Am SCORECARD CORECARD Here are Jerry Kelly’s career PGA Tour stats, and also for this year: 2008 Career Events 21 398 Firsts 0 2 Seconds 2 6 Thirds 1 5 Top 10 3 66 Top 25 6 131 Cuts made 10 255 Money $1.4M $17.8M nament’s just as important to me. I need to get back into winning ways, and I think I’ve done the groundwork to do that.” Kelly had his best season in the majors last year, finishing fifth at the Masters and seventh at the U.S. Open. He currently is 39th on the PGA money list with $1.4 million in winnings and 40th in the FedEx Cup point standings. Monday’s stop at the Country Club of Beloit was a rarity for Kelly, who said he makes few such appearances. However, this was his second time at the Beloit event; the first was in 2003. “I had a good time the last time I came here; the people were great and I thought it was a good cause,” Kelly said. “I do things for what I believe in, not for monetary reasons.” Following the day of golf, Kelly presented a brief golf clinic for the participants. “He’s great with the crowds,” Pro Am Chairman Dr. Mike Donnelly said. “In fact, (Kelly) was over with our troops in Iraq on the USO mission, and I think that speaks volumes about DONNELLY ONNELLY his character.” Kelly also recently partnered with PGA golfer Zach Johnson, a native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in a relief effort for Midwest flood victims. The PGA Tour, through the BMW Championship in early September, will match 100 percent of any pro-am money donated by players and a smaller percentage of tour winnings. Kelly said details on how the money will be distributed have yet to be finalized. “I’d like to see it at the grass roots,” Kelly said. “I want to see the money get into the farmers’ hands that need it the most.” In addition to Monday’s appearance by Kelly, the Beloit Pro Am included a pro tournament with 24 Wisconsin PGA players and 96 amateur golfers. Each played the par-three 10th hole with Kelly. “To watch an accomplished player who hits the ball so solidly, and to get to play a hole with him … is very exciting,” Donnelly said. Proceeds from the event benefit the Beloit Memorial Hospital Foundation. This year, some $140,000 was raised, bringing the 23-year total to $1.3 million. “We always try to apply these funds to the hospital’s capital Need Help for Pain, Strains & Soreness? 5605 East Rockton Rd., Roscoe • (815) 525-4400 Kenneth L.

Many folks enjoy this event because of its unique format. The derby will take place Aug. 30-31. Participants may fish any Wisconsin waterway that has public access — no private ponds are allowed. The event starts at 6 a.m. Saturday and runs through noon Sunday. The format is also very conservation minded. The adult division pays first- through fourthplace for walleye, sauger, saugeye and longest fish. Also, the single-longest large- or smallmouth bass and catfish (any species). To take home the gold in the bluegill division, judges measure the longest total of five fish, measured head to tail. The same five-fish total also will include a separate division for perch and crappie combined. In the youth division, there are two categories: single-longest catfish (any species), and measured total inches of up to five panfish, including perch, crappie, bluegill (may be a mixed bag). Children ages 4 to 12 fish free. The $20 adult fishing fee includes a meal and festivities; nonfishing guests are $5 each. Included in the registration fee are food, music by All About You Mobile Music and some great door prizes. The meal starts at 1 p.m. Sunday; an awards ceremony follows at 3 p.m. Door prizes will be drawn hourly while participants fish. All festivities will be held at Rollette Oil, located at 1451 Madison Road, Beloit. Register at the same location by Aug. 27. Also on hand will be representatives from Rock Valley Anglers and the Blackhawk Musky Club, as well as the state Department of Natural Resources, who has a number to call to check if your fish is a winner or if you can release it on the water. Hope to see you there. **** The Stateline Friends of NRA will host its 11th annual banquet Aug. 22 at the Pontiac Convention Center, located at 2809 N. Pontiac Drive, Janesville.

In Racine, Chinooks and rainbow trout are taking alewives and spawn sacs off the piers. In Kenosha, shore anglers are taking some browns and perch. The perch are hitting small minnows. The Wild Goose says: Recently a female angler contacted me because she wants to pickle a recently caught northern pike. We know there are many fine recipes but here’s our favorite: Cut meat into 1/2-inch squares and place into a glass bowl or crock pot. Add 5/8 cup kosher or canning salt per quart of fish. Top with white vinegar; cover and stir for three to five days. Pour off the brine and rinse under cold running water. Mix 2 cups sugar, 1 quart white vinegar, 1 quart white port wine and 1/3 cup pickling spices. Bring mixture to a simmer, then let it cool. Place fish in jars, alternating layers with onions. Pour in spiced liquid, cover and refrigerate for a week. Makes 3 quarts. Enjoy. Write Jim Cheadle at 4108 W. Spring Creek, Beloit WI 53511. Call him at (608) 365-5280.
