Jones Cup
Post Tournament
Murray State senior golfer Patrick Newcomb came home with rounds of 78-78-81=237, which was good for a 77th place finish at the Jones Cup played Friday through Sunday in Sea Island, Ga., at the Ocean Forest Golf Club.
Newcomb, out of Benton, Ky., was invited to the Jones Cup on his excellent performances over the last two years with the Racers program and on his own. He's the returning Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year and has won the Kentucky Amateur in the last two summers. Newcomb advanced to the quarterfinals of the United State Amateur last summer and was ranked 252nd coming into the Jones Cup in the World Amateur Rankings.
His invitation to the Jones Cup came after he was asked to play in the South Beach International Amateur in Miami, Fla., just before Christmas at the Miami Beach Golf Club.
Newcomb is sure to be in the mix in other national amateur championships moving foward, but now will be with his Racer teammates for their spring season which begins at the Samford Intercollegiate (March 4-5) at Hoover Country Club in Hoover, Ala.
