Murray State junior Patrick Newcomb is the Ohio Valley Conference Men's Golfer of the Week as announced by the league office.

Newcomb, of Benton, Ky., took home medalist honors at last week's Grover Page Classic held at the Jackson Country Club in Jackson, Tenn. He fired rounds of 71-72-74 to finish at 217 (+1). He finished in a tie with Jake Erickson of Southern Illinois but won the scoreboard tiebreaker to win medalist honors outright. His play helped MSU to a fourth place finish as a team.

Newcomb, who was also named the OVC Golfer of the week on Nov. 2, currently ranks fifth in the OVC in stroke average (72.8).

The Racers begin play Friday at the Spring Break Invitational in Boca Raton, Fla. The 54-hole three-day event is host by Florida Atlantic University at Fountains Country Club. The Racers are in a field of 14 teams which include the likes of DePaul, UConn, South Florida, Michigan State and Florida State.
