Murray State men's golfer Patrick Newcomb has been named Pepsi Athlete of the Week for Sept. 6-12.
The Benton, Ky., native won his first collegiate golf tournament Tuesday at the Wasioto Winds Fall Kick-Off hosted by Morehead State at Wasioto Winds GC in Pineville, Ky. He earned Ohio Valley Conference Golfer of the Week honors for his performance.
Newcomb carded a 5-under-par 67 in the first round to get off to a great start, and followed it with a 1-under-par 71 in the afternoon round on Monday. He finished with a 2-under-par 70 on Tuesday afternoon for an 8-under-par 208 and a five-shot victory over teammates Cameron Carrico and William Hunt.
Against a field of 10 teams (including four OVC schools), the Racers shot a combined 845 to win the team title and best second place Belmont by an impressive 40 shots.
The Racers' next event is Monday and Tuesday at the Cardinal Invitational at the Cardinal Club in Louisville, Ky.
MSU returns home to Miller Memorial GC Oct. 4-5 to host the MSU Invitational.
