Two Coloradans were among the 33 players who broke par on Tuesday in the first round of the national Boys Junior PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.
Cal McCoy of Highlands Ranch, a University of Denver signee, shot a 3-under-par 69 and shares ninth place in the 144-player field. McCoy played his first nine holes in 4 under par and finished round 1 three strokes behind co-leaders Ryan Grauman of Alamo, Calif., and Campbell Kremer of hometown Louisville.
Meanwhile, Davis Bryant of Aurora, who finished 14th in this event last year, opened with a 1-under 71, good for a share of 21st place. The future Colorado State University golfer was 3 under through 15, but bogeyed 16 and 17. He finished the day with four birdies and three bogeys.
McCoy and Bryant (pictured together at left) were teammates on last week’s Colorado team that won the boys Junior America’s Cup team title for the first time. Also on that team were Dillon Stewart of Fort Collins and Walker Franklin of Broomfield.
