PEORIA (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - A Bradley University student from the far northwest suburbs has a new set of wheels after making a near-impossible full-court shot.
It was during the Bradley men’s basketball game Sunday night, but it was a putt - not a basket - that stunned the home crowd.
Freshman Trevor Frey hit a golf ball 94-feet into a small hole in a poster across the entire court.
He told WMBD-TV in Peoria he’s never golfed before.
“The only part that I remember is it going in the hole, and then everything else is a blur. I remember Kaboom! coming over, but after that you’re just jumping up and down high-fiving people, celebrating,” Frey said.
A clip of the seemingly impossible putt and the celebration afterwards with Bradley’s mascot and screaming fans has gone viral.
Frey now has a brand new Mazda CX-50 thanks to a Peoria car dealer who sponsored the contest.
