SINGAPORE — A triple bogey that wipes out a final-round lead could have spelt disaster for any professional golfer. Not Matt Kuchar though.
“Strange things happen on the golf course,” he quipped about his seventh-hole misadventure after his 16th career victory. His fourth shot from the fairway then sailed way past the green and into the bushes. As his overnight three-shot lead vanished, with Jazz having caught up with a birdie on the same hole, Kuchar still made a long putt to limit the damage to a triple bogey.
“In life, you have a lot of similarities in that you face some difficult times, and it’s how you persevere, how you overcome those things that counts. So I certainly was awfully proud to be able to regroup and overcome that that triple bogey.” Nonetheless, the Englishman remained upbeat, saying, “Some second places hurt, and some you feel good. This was more of a feel-good second-place finish. I feel like I could build some momentum from this.”
