BYU's Peter Kuest eyes a tee shot during the final round of the Cougar Classic at Riverside Country Club in Provo on Saturday, April 20, 2019.

PROVO -- You got the feeling Peter Kuest was packing his BYU golf teammates on his back all this spring, and the burden of that trek was getting awfully heavy.

But that ended Saturday in dramatic comeback fashion as the Cougar golf team put on an assault on the back nine at Riverside Country Club to win the PING Cougar Classic going away.

No. 7-ranked Kuest, nicknamed KuestStar by teammates, won his fifth collegiate medal of the year with a 17-under par 199, eight shots better than Colorado State’s Parathakorn Suyasri.
