They still have to show up and play, but when it comes to the season ending Forty Plus Series final event chances are Chris Eassy and Jeremy Revis are going to take home the top prize.

The pair of past Greenville County Amateur champions shot identical rounds of 65 to win their third straight season finale, this year by two shots.

“We both don’t always play well in this tournament, but one of us always seems to be in good shape,” said Revis. “It has been that way every year we have won this thing,” he added.

The duo won for the first time at Callawassie and then at True Blue and this year at the Heritage Club and all three wins have been accomplished in very much the same way.

“I think we have won each year by a few shots, it hasn’t come down to the last hole or anything like that,” recalled Revis.

This year the two Greenville golfers had a three shot lead after the first round. The winners didn’t have to put a bogey on their scorecard either day.

“We really did brother-in-law it again this year,” said Eassy. “It is the way we have played in this tournament each year,” he said.

The team of Jack Ellis and Mike Cobb from around Charleston finished second. Their final round 7-under par 64 was the best round of the tournament, but still left them in second place.

Stan Sill and Josh McMillan from Spartanburg finished in third place.

The two used the win to tune up for a USGA qualifying tournament to try to qualify for the national Four-Ball championship.

The two had qualified for the championship twice. Once the tournament was cancelled because of Covid and at another championship the two made the match play draw.

The two will attempt to earn another trip back to the USGA Four-Ball championship at a qualifying tournament at Oldfield Golf Club on December 11th.

“One of the years we qualified it was canceled at the Philadelphia Crickett Club. The tournament will be played there this year and I hope we can qualify and get there,” said Revis.
