Matt Kuchar’s golf ball heads to the clubhouse for lunch

Matt Kuchar still had shots to play, but his ball was off to the 19th hole.

The waste areas at Pinehurst No. 2 add a lot of unpredictability to the U.S. Open with players unsure how a ball will come out of any particular lie. Matt Kuchar found the waste area on No. 18 and his second shot came out a little hot.

Not only was Kuchar unable to hold the green, but his ball kept rolling and rolling, all the way into the clubhouse.

Someone enjoying a sandwich in the clubhouse may have received an unexpected souvenir. To his credit, Kuchar was able to get up-and-down to save par and finish the day at 1-under.
