Yellowjacket freshman makes the most of his debut collegiate tee shot, draining a hole-in-one, and the MSUB. LONGMONT, Colo. – On the very first swing of his collegiate career, Montana State University Billings freshman Scott Larson drained a hole-in-one out of the 11th tee box at Fox Hills Golf Club in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference #1 Tournament on Monday. “I was just trying to follow Rhett (Hightower)’s advice; hit the green and make par,” Larson commented when asked what his mindset was stepping into the tee box. “Right when I hit it, it felt good and it was going at the stick. When it landed I thought I saw it go in, and when I got up there sure enough it was. I was more in shock than anything, it was the first swing of my career.” “I am very excited for Scott as hitting a hole in one in your first college golf tournament on your first hole is an extraordinary moment,” commented MSUB head coach Shawn O’Brien. “That will be a moment that Scott will cherish for a long time.” For Larson, a Kalispell, Mont., native, the ace on the 192-yard, par-3 11th hole was the second of his life, as he also drained a hole-in-one his junior year of high school on a hole almost the same distance.
