What did it mean being low medalist during the two-day, stroke play portion of the U.S. Amateur? Next to nothing. Both co-medalists, Georgia’s Lee McCoy and Arkansas’ Taylor Moore, were bounced in the first round of match play. “Just goes to show you they are two different golf tournaments,” McCoy said. “They are not similar in any way. I would have loved for it to have been a four-day stroke-play event. I probably wouldn’t have been far off the lead.”…It wasn’t much better for Kennesaw State’s Jimmy Beck, who was the low man after the first round of stroke play. He lost to Canada’s Garrett Rank 1 up. Rank was another survivor from the morning playoff…For those keeping score at home, players with Georgia Tech in their background went 2-1 Wednesday, those with Georgia roots went 0-3.
