Murray State's Patrick Newcomb made a Sunday rally to finish fourth at the FAU Spring Break Challenge in Boca Raton, Fla., at Fountains Country Club.
The junior from Benton, Ky., started the day in 26th place in the field of 90 players, but a final round 5-under-par 67 moved Newcomb up to a fourth place finish in a strong field of teams that featured the likes of Florida State and Ohio State.
Newcomb carded scores of 72-71-67=210. His finish was bested only by FSU's Brooks Koepka (199) who was the medalist for the event and teammates Wesley Graham (208) and Doug Letson (209).
“What I think is impressive is this is a very strong field that he was in, the strongest field we'll be in this spring,” MSU Head Coach Eddie Hunt said. “Patrick played great and he's playing as good as anybody in the OVC right now. He had a great tournament and this gives him a great confidence boost as we head into the final two events and then the OVC Tournament.”
MSU's Hunter York carded a 4-under-par 68 on the final day to go with scores of 77-75 for a 220 and a spot in 40th place. Wade Thompson fired scores of 75=74=75=224 for a spot in 59th, while Tyler Brown placed 77th with rounds of 74=76-80=230. William Hunt placed 79th with scores of 76-76-80=232.
The Racers carded scores of 297-296-290=883 to finish in 14th place, ahead of DePaul (902) and just behind Miami (OH) (881), Connecticut (880) and Minnesota (880).
Florida State was the team winner at 829, while Ohio State (848), Northern Illinois (853), Jacksonville State (860) and Xavier (862) made up the top-5. South Florida placed sixth at 865, with Florida Gulf Coast (865), Michigan State (869), Marshall (863) and host Florida Atlantic (876) made up the top-10.
MSU's next event is the Arkansas State Intercollegiate (April 2-3) at Jonesboro Country Club in Jonesboro, Ark.
