RINGGOLD, Ga. – Ben Rebne crushed his drive right down the line of artificial turf at the back end of the driving range at WindStone Golf Club.
But he didn’t crush a golf ball.
He used a TaylorMade driver to beat a marshmallow about 40 yards during a “Big Break” style of competition after the first round of the Ringgold Telephone Company Junior Classic.
He finished runner-up in that entertaining competition. But Harrison Corbin of Inman, S.C., leads the real tournament after shooting a 4-under-par 67 on Tuesday.
Corbin leads by one over Jeffery Cunningham, Andy Ogletree, Crimson Callahan, Liam Warner and Jacob Eklund. Rebne is 12 shots off the lead but declared, in the joking fashion of a rising sophomore, that he’ll shoot 59 today and take the lead.
