Kilcoyne, Erick, and Mrva Share Lead After Opening Round at Mass Amateur

Patrick Kilcoyne bogeyed his first two holes Monday morning at Winchester Country Club, and for a moment, the script looked unkind. The runner-up from 2025 had waited a full year to return to the Massachusetts Amateur with unfinished business, and now he was two over before most of the field had finished their warm-up routines.

Then he remembered he had 34 holes left to play.
