It was a tantalizing day of wondering what might have been for Jeff McNeil.
Don’t, however, misconstrue that as it being a day with even a nanosecond of regret for the Mets’ sweet-swinging Mr. Versatility, who happens to be leading the major leagues in batting with a .339 average.
“This,’’ McNeil told The Post as he stood off to the side of first fairway at Liberty National on Thursday watching Tiger Woods hit an approach shot into the green, “is always what I wanted to do.’’
If not for being ignored by college coaches, McNeil might be roaming the fairways of Liberty National this week chasing the $15 million FedExCup Playoffs pot of gold.
