PROVO — Peter Kuest certainly has all the tools to score a rare double eagle, called an “albatross” in golf terms. His length, accuracy and skills attracted Hall of Famer Johnny Miller to take interest in him and direct him toward a college career at BYU.
The Cougar sophomore made an albatross on his second shot of the day at the NCAA Championship. It came on the 542-yard No. 1 par-5 hole at Karsten Creek Golf Course in Norman, Oklahoma, and it happened just before lightning suspended play.
Since Kuest is capable of a 300-plus-yard drive, and assuming he did, that would leave some 240 yards on his second shot.
