Golfer Peter Kuest leads BYU into NCAA Regionals in hopes of continuing dream season

Provo • BYU junior Peter Kuest made his first hole-in-one when he was 12 years old. Then he made another ace a few months later and figured he would rack up plenty more in his blossoming golf career.

But that’s about all the golfer from Fresno, Calif., now 21, hasn’t accomplished since taking up the game as a youngster on family trips to Palm Springs, Calif., when all he cared about was pulling out a driver and seeing how far he could hit it.

He’s quick to add that he has made an albatross — 3-under-par on a single hole — twice in competition, which is rarer than a hole-in-one.
