US Open non-winners

[Grass Roots Tour]

What ever happened to the 3 guys who lost to Tiger in the final of the 3 US Ams Tiger won?

I assume George (Buddy) Marucci remained amateur and didnt do anything of note since losing to Tigre.

What about Steve Scott and Joel Kribel?

Was the loss so overwhelming they quit golf? I doubt it.

Were they no where near good enough to play pro golf? I doubt that too.

What the hell DID happen to those guys?

Im not sure. I just watched the Us amateur match yesterday Tiger vs. Steve Scott.

Good match but still dont know what happend to those guys.

Joel Kribel hangs out on the Nationwide Tour for the most part (I also remember his group being behind my group in the Pro-Am at Whistle Bear):

as for Steve Scott, Canadian Tour, Nationwide and Q-School pretty much sums it up:

Steve Scott continues to play, he has played on the Canadian Tour and a few Nationwide events. I don't know about Joel Kribel, Buddy Marucci stayed an amateur and continues to play in events in the US. He won a tournament last year with a partner...

MARUCCI-MCCOY WIN 2005 FOUR-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Larry Guest, Orlando, Fla


Two was the magic number for Mike McCoy in the 71st Southern International Four-Ball Championship Friday at Emerald Dunes Golf Club. McCoy, five-time Iowa amateur of the year, scored an eagle two, two days in a row, on hole No. 2.

After knocking in a wedge on the 408-yard hole in Thursday's third round, he duplicated the feat in Friday's finale to kick start his and partner Buddy Marucci's 3-stroke victory in the featured Mid-Am division. McCoy and Marucci, a two-time Walker Cupper, closed with a 6-under-par, better-ball 66 for a 263 total.

"We played great and really teamed well,'' beamed McCoy, an insurance exec in Des Moines. "Buddy is a great putter. The eagles are fun. I've had it go the other way, but it's nice when it goes your way."

Didn't Tiger also beat Trip Kuehne to win one? I think he remained an amateur though...
