Justin Hicks, PGA and Robbie Wight(A) Win Second Consecutive Pro-Scratch Championship
Tequesta, Fl - Justin Hicks, PGA and Robbie Wight(a) win the 2024 Pro-Scratch Championship presented by Srixon | Cleveland | Nike for the second consecutive year at Tequesta Country Club and Turtle Creek Club.
Hicks and Wight bested their 2023 Championship victory by one shot, posting a 16-under, 63-64–127, winning the 2024 Championship by three shots over Patrick Ross, PGA of Mizner Country Club and amateur Justin Ross.
“We play similar games and I know how good of a player he is so I never get too worried out there and on my own ball and I feel like we are always going to be in every hole together, " explained Hicks. ”It was a lot of fun together.”
After an 8-under opening round, Hicks and Wight found themselves tied with four other teams heading into the final round. New for this year, live scoring was incorporated into the event, allowing players and those interested to follow along in real time. Even with the addition of live scoring, the duo of Hicks and Wight did not look at any leaderboard until the 16th hole. All in an effort to stay within their own game. The strategy proved to work as the two played the final 9-holes at 5-under to secure the win.
A friendship that was assembled several years ago, Hicks, a Teaching Professional at Stonebridge Country Club and Wight, a consistent competitor in local and state amateur events, have a level of comfort together that allowed them to separate themselves from the rest of the field.
“There is a big comfort level because we play a lot together, so there was a lot of home cooking this week, no doubt,” added Wight.
Finishing in a tie for third at 12-under were the teams of Rod Curl, PGA of Crane Watch at Evergreen, and amateur Scott Turner, as well as Brant Peaper of Lost Tree Club and amateur Mackenzie Edwards.
The 2024 Pro-Scratch Championship hosted a sold-out field of 112 two-person teams, consisting of a South Florida PGA Professional and a scratch amateur, competing over 36 holes in a best-ball format.
This year’s Championship was presented by Srixon | Cleveland | Nike and supported by CTS3 Solutions, Forecaddie, Ghost Golf, Putt View, Rapsodo, Stache and Tour Greens Palm Beaches.
