BRADENTON, Fla. – Maverick McNealy keeps detailed stats from every round and qualifier. The numbers from his first round here at Concession weren’t pretty, and it cost him a chance at the NCAA title.
The Stanford sophomore lost three-and-a-half shots on the greens during an opening 78 that was his worst round of the year by two. Bad timing, because even though McNealy has played better over the past two rounds at the NCAA Championship, he still was well off the pace at 4-over 220.
“I would be very happy if the tournament started today,” he said Sunday.
