ROCKLEIGH, N.J. (Sept. 14, 2014) — In Sunday's Bergen County Amateur — a 36-hole championship played in one day — Dylan Newman, a former Iona College golfer from New Rochelle, N.Y., shot 77 in the opening 18. That score put him seven back of the leader Eric Lefante.

His 65 was the lowest score of the tournament by four shots.
Lefante shot 74 in the second round and finished two shots behind Newman in a tie for third place.
Finishing in second place was Steven Zychowski, who shot 72-71.
