Denny McCarthy put together a near flawless second round to share medalist honors with former Navy standout Billy Hurley III at the Rockville, Md., U.S. Open qualifying site. McCarthy birdied four of the first five holes of his back nine at Woodmont Country Club’s North Course. He shot 70-68 – with a bogey on his final hole – to tie Hurley at 6-under 138.
McCarthy, who ended his final season at Virginia No. 31 in the Golfeweek/Sagarin College Rankings, was a semifinalist at the 2014 U.S. Amateur and helped lead Team USA to victory at the 2014 World Amateur Team Championship in Japan.
