MOULTRIE – The 71st annual Ramsey Pidcock Invitational will play host to a record 120 teams when it tees off on Saturday at Sunset Country Club.
And among those twosomes will be the reigning champions, Andy Blanton and Reb Benton, who claimed the title last year with a 130.
Blanton will be chasing his fourth Ramsey Pidcock title since 2005 this weekend.
He teamed up with brother Kevin to win in 2005 and was joined by John Lee Redding in claiming the trophy in 2014.
The Blanton brothers were originally expecting to play together again last year before Kevin had to bow out with an elbow injury.
But Benton proved up to the task, helping the duo shoot Saturday’s best round, a 62.
They shot a 68 on Sunday to hold off Andew Eunice and Eli Stripling, who finished one shot back at 131.
Eunice and Stripling also will be back to play again in the annual two-day event. The two also shot a 126 in 2021.
The 120 teams will be chasing the Ramsey Pidcock record of 125 shot by Sam Hogan and Allen Hampton in 2007.
