Punters Take Note: Kuchar's Affinity For Olympic Club
/Writing about Matt Kuchar, Ron Sirak reminds us that the Players Champ had a shot to win this year's Masters and played particularly well at the 2012 U.S. Open site when he was there in '98 as an amateur.
"I could remember walking off the 18th green at Augusta National thinking I can't believe the round is already over," Kuchar said. "I had so much fun, I couldn't believe that. I was in the clubhouse having a cheeseburger, I didn't want the day to end."
But while the Masters and Augusta National whets your appetite for golf, the U.S. Open, on pretty much any venue, can make you lose your lunch. "I can remember walking off the 18th green at Olympic, I just [wanted] to go home and take a nap," he said.
