After Patrick Newcomb won the APGA's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines on Sunday, he received an exemption into the Korn Ferry Tour’s Simmons Bank Open in May. But he passed along the opportunity.

Newcomb gave his exemption to APGA veteran Tim O'Neal, who nearly won the tour's first nationally televised event but his 5-foot birdie putt on the tournament's final hole lipped out.

O'Neal, 49, has made over 200 starts on mini-tours and has eight PGA Tour starts to his name, including the 2015 U.
