No, it wasn’t a recreational golfer out for an early 18 holes; it was nine-time PGA Tour champion Matt Kuchar, the only golfer in the field at the Wyndham Championship who hadn’t finished the tournament on Sunday.
Less than 12 hours earlier, Kuchar baffled onlookers when he marked his ball in the 18th rough and walked off the course.
“Sorry that you guys had to come out this morning,” Kuchar said sheepishly.
Kuchar said he thought Greyserman still had a chance to win the tournament and believed that his stopping would prompt Greyserman to follow suit.
By finishing in a 10-way tie for 12th place, Kuchar was paid $134,695, nearly double what he would have been paid if he had bogeyed the final hole.
