STANFORD, Calif. – Peter Kuest shot two-under to lead BYU men's golf on the first day of The Goodwin at Stanford Golf Course.
"Peter (Kuest) played extremely well today," BYU head coach Bruce Brockbank said. "Other than that, we struggled and missed some putts. We need to make more tomorrow if we are going to improve."

Kelton Hirsch (+5) and Carson Lundell (+8) rounded out the scoring for the Cougars. Playing in his first tournament of the spring, Brock Stanger posted a 10-over.
