Roughly a month before beginning their college golf careers at Colorado-based universities, Cal McCoy of Highlands Ranch and Davis Bryant of Aurora were putting some of the final touches on their junior golf careers this week in Louisville, Ky.
Neither played anywhere close to his best on Friday at Valhalla Golf Club, but both can say they easily made the cut in the national Boys Junior PGA Championship.
The University of Denver-bound McCoy finished 29th out of 144 players, while Bryant was 60th.
McCoy went into the final round in 10th place, but shot a 6-over-par 78 on Friday, which left him at 3-over 291 overall. He made two double bogeys and five bogeys in the final round, along with three birdies, including one on his final hole. He ended up 14 strokes behind champion Akshay Bhatia of Wake Forest, N.C., who closed with a 68.
Bryant, a teammate of McCoy’s on the Colorado team that won the Junior America’s Cup last week, posted a final-round 79 for a 299 total. The future Colorado State University golfer, who placed 14th in this event last year, made one birdie and eight bogeys on Friday.
Here are the round-by-round scores for the Coloradans:
29. Cal McCoy, Highlands Ranch 69-75-69-78–291
60. Davis Bryant, Aurora 71-73-76-79–299
