HIGHLAND Early Thursday morning, Brock Goyen looked to have very little chance of playing in the Utah state amateur quarterfinals Friday.
The BYU sophomore was down five with five holes to play after Utah State golfer Cameron Tucker dropped a birdie on the par-4 13th hole.
But match play golf does weird things.
Goyen rallied in short order, dropping five-straight birdies capped by his short putt on No. 18, then secured the Round of 32 win with a birdie on the 19th green Thursday at Alpine Country Club. It s one thing coming back from 1 or 2 up. But 5 down with five holes to play was pretty tough, Goyen said. But I m glad I got it done. It was a hard match, and huge respect to Cameron; he was a great competitor all day long. I m glad I could pull through in the end.
