Walker Cup captain will visit Peoria as part of River Cup charity event
Top amateur golfer and USA Walker Cup captain Mike McCoy will visit Peoria later this year as part of a benefit dinner for the River Cup Foundation, a not-for-profit directed by volunteers that raises money for children's charities and promotes golf in the Peoria area.
McCoy, 60, is an insurance executive who won the 2013 United States Mid-Amateur championship at age 50 — the second-oldest champ in that event's history. He is scheduled to speak as a guest of the RCF on Nov. 12 at Mount Hawley Country Club in Peoria.
