Better Than Most: Video And Story About The Baylor Full-Court Putt
/
KWTX’s Tyler Boudin talked to Ky Carlson after his full-court, $5000 made putt at halftime of Saturday’s Baylor-Texas game. The incredible third putt of the contest went viral, including millions of views via social media (below).
In these tough times, it’s always fun to read about a fun feat. Boudin writes:
When Ky Carlson's third attempt drifted right of the green set up on the baseline, the trend appeared to roll on to another day.
"As soon as I hit it, I know I pushed it off to the right, but as it goes past halfcourt, it starts to curl back in," Carlson said. "It keeps getting closer and closer, and then all of a sudden, it's pandemonium. It pops on the green and goes in. Nobody could believe it, including me, so that was pretty amazing."
Carlson was a contestant in the Mattson Financial Group putting contest that features three separate putts worth $250, $500 and $5,000 respectively. Ironically, his first attempt was the worst of the three, missing the green by a few inches.
"(Baylor) kind of wants us to go pretty fast. I get to the second one and it's a dead aim," Carlson said. "That one barely lipped in and out. I thought that second one was my chance."
