On the course, Matt Kuchar rarely reacts or gets emotional about anything. So this putter flip after be bombed in a putt on the 15th green was just perfect.
Matt Kuchar is so happy he could throw his putter
A rare celebratory outburst from Matt Kuchar is the latest highlight in one of the best matches in Ryder Cup history.
That effort, unfortunately, was only good for a halve of the hole. Kuchar and Bubba Watson are currently on the wrong end of one of the best Ryder Cup runs in the history of the event. Justin Rose is unconscious with his putter, and Henrik Stenson is sticking his approach shots. Stenson’s iron shot into that green landed just a foot or two from the hole so the Euros didn’t even need to putt. It was their 10th STRAIGHT birdie, and yet they’re only 2-up on the American side which has made eight birdies in 15 holes.
The scoring conditions are much more benign with the wind down, but no one could have expected the kind of work from this first match. There are too many highlights to count, but Rose is the star, making six birdies in a row before he didn’t have to putt anymore because his partner was already in the hole.
