A strange thing happened after Lee McCoy’s star-making performance on the PGA Tour. He didn’t turn pro … and he didn’t neglect his Georgia teammates … and he didn’t become complacent, even with graduation and pro life only two months away. It was, in a word, refreshing.
In a college landscape rife with one-and-done talents who choose personal ambition over collective achievement, McCoy has rallied for one final championship push.
After tying for fourth at last month’s Valspar Championship and outshining Jordan Spieth in their Sunday pairing, McCoy returned to Athens early the next morning, after a 7 1/2-hour drive, to play in the Bulldogs’ home tournament.
