Lee McCoy didn’t have time to think about the $292,000 he could have pocketed at the Valspar Championship if he wasn’t an amateur.
He had to head back to the University of Georgia for Monday’s 36-hole Southern Intercollegiate at Athens Country Club.
Running on empty, McCoy was still able to shoot rounds of 70-71 for the one-day, 36-hole event and unlike his last four days on the PGA Tour, he was walking and carrying his own golf bag.
“Mentally exhausted,” is how his golf coach, Chris Haack, described McCoy at day’s end.
“I really didn’t play as well as I have the last two days,” McCoy said after shooting three-under par. “But,” he added, “mission accomplished” after his team got the victory over a good Arkansas squad.
Individually, McCoy finished tied for seventh.
