— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 8, 2015 Matt Kuchar plays no-look backwards golf shot to avoid falling in the water
The former Players champion had to get creative to make this right-handed shot.
Matt Kuchar was incredibly fortunate his golf ball did not plummet off the island and into the water at TPC Sawgrass’ 17th hole.
That break, however, came with a cost when Kuchar’s ball nestled up against the hazard line. This lie would have been just fine for his playing partner, left-handed Bubba Watson, but Kuchar had no stance. So he got creative.
