So much fun to follow these former BYU golfers.
Peter's mom and girlfriend were so nice to me.
His mom told me Peter came within one tournament of beating Tiger Woods record of 11 college tournament wins. Peter might have done it except that 3 tournaments got cut that year because of Covid.
I met the Bruce Brockbank (BYU golf coach who was there following Peter.) I asked him who the best golfer he ever coached was. He said, "Peter Kuest." Pretty amazing since he coached Daniel Summerhays, Patrick Fishburn and Zac Blair among others.
On hole number 11 Peter hit a great drive on a par 5. His second shot was right in front of me. He hit it and with his hand he motioned downward. He needed a birdie. I thought he went into the the trap in front of the green. Turned out that he motioned down because it went in the hole for an albatross. I asked his mom if that was his first. She told me he had 2 at BYU. On the next par five he lost his drive to the left. He had tree problems and water on both sides of the green. It looked like an impossible shot. I was curious so I asked him if he could put it on the green. He said, "Oh yeah." I told him I was going ahead to see it go in like the last par 5. He hit it up there close and knocked it in for an eagle. Pretty amazing playing the 2 par 5's at 5 under.
Both mom and girlfriend expressed disappointment that he was 129 on the PGA tour last year and yet got no status out of it. Even his 2 top tens this year on the PGA tour didn't give him any status.
Both Summerhays and Kuest are great putters and yet they were just off on putting. Peter 3 putted twice. Daniel missed a lot of makeable putts. I hope they can do well tomorrow.
