April 26, 2014

Rich Blanton – 2014 Pine View Classic champ

Rich Blanton finished eagle-birdie-birdie on his final 3 holes to come from behind and win the 2014 Pine View Classic on Saturday. Blanton overcame an opening triple-bogey on his starting hole (#18) to finish at 2-over par 74 and a 2-stroke win over Kelly Arnold, Phil Johnson and Mike Pearcy. It was Blanton’s 2nd career win (2012 East Side Charity Cl) in 20 starts on Tour.

Arnold (34-42 – 76) hit 7 of 18 greens but played 5-over on his final 8 holes. Johnson (35-41 – 76) was tripped up by Pine View’s tough #12 thru #14 holes (+5) while Pearcy (42-34 – 76) had more trouble on the traditionally easier front side.
