PREVIEW: Xerox Classic - Monday, August 07, 2006

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- If the statistics hold true for Notah Begay III at this week's Xerox Classic, the Albuquerque native should enjoy a good weekend on the links at the Irondequoit Country Club.

Notah has played five of his last six rounds under par and hasn't missed the cut at a New York tour event since 2003. Having made 7-of-9 cuts on the 2006 Nationwide Tour, Notah sports a 6-2 record against the cut for pro tour events in the Empire State.

The par-70 Irondequoit golf course opened in 1916 and is considered a relatively short course on tour with a total of 6,720 yards.
