Wisconsin music teacher Doing shoots 80 to pace U.S. Mid-Amateur field

MILWAUKEE — Jim Doing of Verona, Wis., shot an 80 Saturday in the first round of the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship.

Not bad for an opera singer, especially one who struggled with his putter.

“I managed to three-putt twice from 2½ feet. I just could not make a putt,” said Doing, 46, who teaches music at the University of Wisconsin.
