Jeff Klauk must certainly feel like he is at home when he arrives at the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open given the success he has had at Crestview Country Club.

Since his first appearance in 2002, the Florida native has earned $138,638 in six starts, including his first Nationwide Tour win in 2003, a T2 and a T7 last year.

Currently ninth on the money list with more than $245,000 in earnings this year, Klauk has all but locked up his PGA TOUR card for the first time. At year's end in early November, cards will be awarded to the top-25 money winners for 2009. The Florida Southern graduate has four top-10 finishes, including a win at the Melwood Prince George's County Open outside Washington, D.C.

In the 19-year history of the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open, play has been suspended eleven times. Today was one of them.

A line of thunderstorms passed over the Crestview Country Club and play was suspended at 10:15 a.m. At the time, Tommy Tolles, who started on the back nine, held the lead at 6-under through 12 holes, largely thanks to playing holes 15-18 in 4-under-par.

"I was hoping the weather would skirt around us," said the 41-year-old Tolles. "I'm getting older, so I came in for a nap."
