Round 2: Newcomb was one of the hottest players at the Fox Den Country Club course when he played a stretch of 10 holes (7 through 16) 6-under-par. He finished with a 67 which was one of the best rounds of the morning groups. When he was finished, Newcomb had moved to 73rd place, hoping to get into the top-70 thus making the cut to play on the weekend. Newcomb's scores were 74-67=141 and he missed the cut by two shots.
Round 1: Newcomb has his work cut out for him Friday if he is to make the cut which allows the top-70 and ties to play on the weekend. Newcomb had a 2-over-par 74 in Thursday's round one and stood in 138th place as Friday's second round began. Newcomb has an 8"20 a.m. CST tee time.
