ORLANDO, Fla. — Matt Kuchar couldn’t imagine a better ending to a year when he lost his father than to finally win the PNC Championship with his son.
There was no stopping them Sunday in a record-smashing performance that led to an 18-under-par 54 and a whopping seven-shot victory.
The two-day golf tournament that is all about family and fun ended with Kuchar wiping away tears as his voice cracked while speaking about how much it meant without his father, who died in February.
The finish was simply surreal to him.
Cameron Kuchar, who was able to use one tee box forward as a high school student, hammered another drive and watched his father hit a 7-iron shot that left the ball 18 inches from the cup. Kuchar gave his son the honor of tapping in for the final touch on an unforgettable weekend at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club for the Kuchar family.
