Des Moines golfer named state's best
Mike McCoy of Des Moines has been named the 1983 Iowa Amateur of the Year after a late surge that saw him pass Dana Kain of Ames for the top honor. The Wichita State junior finished in the top 10 in five of eight major Iowa amateur events and won the Tournament of Champions. He began golf as a caddy at Wakonda Club and played for Dowling High School before becoming an all Missouri Valley Conference player last spring. McCoy plans to pursue professional golf after college eligibility ends and aims to become the first back-to-back Amateur of the Year winner in a decade.
