Edward Explains It All

Nick Newcomb Wins OVC

College sports are often more psychological than professional sports.  Give a young man or woman some added confidence and they seem to shine on the same grandiose stages than their older counterparts.  If you need another example of this, read Nick Newcomb's scorecard.  The Racer began the OVC tournament shooting a two-over 38 for his first round front nine.  He was likely the most critical of his game than anybody else and likely noticed the four Eastern Kentucky players shooting better first round scores.  But that's the beauty of college golf.  When you watch the PGA, even the players sinking the occasional eagle putt are often not those on the first page of the leaderboard.  But in the college game one hole can make all the difference, and that's exactly what jumpstarted Newcomb's final round.  After sinking an ace on the second hole, he went on to shoot a two-under 70 and watched as his opponents started to stumble.  It was a clutch performance by a player named after Jack Nicklaus and it was another example of how the college game can produce stars just like the pro ranks.
