Newcomb Named Pepsi Athlete of the Week
5/1/2013 2:59:00 PM | General, Men's Golf
Murray State senior golfer Patrick Newcomb was named the Murray State Pepsi Athlete of the Week after he won medalist honors as the best individual at last week's OVC Championship. Newcomb was also voted by the league's head coaches, as the OVC Player of the Year.
Newcomb is the OVC Player of the Year for the second consecutive year and becomes the fourth-straight Murray State golfer to win the award (joining his brother Nick in 2010 and Cameron Carrico in 2011). This occasion marks just the second time in OVC history a school has won the honor four-straight years (EKU 1983-1986).
Newcomb became the seventh OVC golfer to win the medalist crown in back-to-back years and first since 2006 and 2007. Overall he is the eighth different Racer to win the award. Newcomb is only the second Racer to win the OVC's top spot in back-to-back years, following Billy Graham who was OVC Player of the year in 1962 and 1963,
Newcomb won medalist with stellar play over 36 holes of the OVC Championship. He carded a 2-under-par 70 Friday in round two after a 3-under 69 in Thursday's first round. His 139 total was one shot ahead of UT Martin's Brendon Caballero who had scores of 69-71=140.
By winning the OVC title, Newcomb gets one of 32 individual spots in the NCAA Men's Golf Championship. The tournament field of 80 teams and individuals will be announced May 6th. Newcomb will be assigned to one of six regionals that will be played May 16-18. The NCAA Regionals will be held in Baton Rouge, La., Tallahassee, Fla., Columbus, Ohio, Fayetteville, Ark., Tempe, Ariz. and Pullman, Wash. The National Championship will be held May 28 - June 2 at the Capital City Club/Crabapple Course in Atlanta.
Newcomb is the first MSU player to compete in the NCAA Golf Championship as an individual since Cameron Carrico in 2011.
