A come-from-behind effort will be needed if former Murray State golfer Patrick Newcomb is to claim his third straight Kentucky State Amateur Men's Golf Championship in Bowling Green, Ky.
Newcomb (Benton, Ky.) followed up his first round 5-under-par 67 with a 1-over 73 for a 140 total which was good for a spot in third place in the field of 154 players. Newcomb begins Thursday's final round at Bowling Green Country Club five shots off the lead of Tyler McDaniel (Manchester, Ky.) who carded scores of 68-67=135. First round leader Clay Hinton (Elizabethtown, Ky.) was in second place with scores of 66-72=138.
Incoming MSU freshman Matthew Zakutney (Paducah, Ky.) has made quite an impression at the Commonwealth's signature event. Out of St. Mary's High School, Zakutney turned in a 74 in round one, but bounced back in round two with a 3-under-par 69 for a total of 143.
Two other former Racers made the cut as well with Chris Griffin (Paducah, Ky.) who is an assistant coach with MSU's women's golf program, turning in scores of 76-74=150 for a spot in 49th place. Kyle Shirley (Bowling Green, Ky.) was in 56th place with rounds of 78-73=151.
The 152 cut line prevented four current Racers from seeing action in Thursday's final round.
Daniel Harper (Murray, Ky.) had scores of 77-76=153, while Duncan McCormick (Morganfield, Ky.) had scores of 82-72=154. Brock Simmons (Murray, Ky.) carded scores of 79-76=155, while Preston French had rounds of 79-78=157.
Bowling Green Country Club is playing this week to a length of 6,853 yards and to a par of 72.
Tee times for Thursday's final round include: Griffin at 8:27 a.m., Shirley at 9:12 a.m., Zakutney at 9:30 a.m. and Newcomb at 9:48 a.m.
