The 26th Kentucky Men's Four-Ball Championship heads to Heritage Hill Golf Course, marking just the second time the course has hosted the event. Heritage Hill last welcomed the championship in 2018, when Rob Crockett and Andy Roberts claimed the title.

This year's field features several of Kentucky's top amateur partnerships, and a handful of teams figure to be in the mix when the final putts drop.

Teams to Watch

Matt Epperson and Andy Roberts are a proven partnership, having won this event together in both 2021 and 2023. A third title on a course where Roberts has already won would be a remarkable addition to their record.

Defending champions Ben Kendrick and Clay Pendergrass won last year's event at Oxmoor Country Club with a dominant 22-under total, but Kendrick returns with a new partner in Zach Norris. The defending title is his to protect, and it will be worth watching how the new pairing gels.

Rob Crockett and Jon Ice have unfinished business after finishing third a year ago at 18-under. Crockett is a two-time champion of this event and knows what it takes to close. Ice has yet to capture the title but looks to change that this year.

Joshua Rhodes and Rocco Zakutney were the runners-up in 2025, finishing just two shots off the pace after a remarkable final-round 59. The duo will be hungry to do better this time around, and their closing form last year suggests they have the firepower to do it.

Talen Beane, the reigning 2025 Kentucky Junior Amateur champion, rounds out the field alongside Eric Fuldner, making Beane one of the younger competitors in the field and a name to keep an eye on.
