Wyndham Championship: Matt Kuchar to Finish Final Round on Monday
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Wyndham Championship has crowned its winner, but the final round at Sedgefield Country Club is not yet complete for Matt Kuchar, who will return on Monday to finish his round.
The tournament has been full of dramatic twists, including a tropical storm, a quadruple bogey, and a grueling Sunday where players faced three different rounds. The final twist came as Matt Kuchar, playing in the last group, decided to pause his final hole and return the next day to complete it.
Sunday Recap:
- Round 2: Suspended due to darkness and concluded Sunday morning.
- Rounds 3 & 4: Split-tee start with no re-grouping. Kuchar played in the final group for both rounds.
- Final Hole Decision: At 8:15 p.m., with darkness setting in, Kuchar opted not to finish the 18th hole after his tee shot landed in the left pine straw. His group was given the option to finish Monday, and Kuchar chose to resume play in the morning.
Kuchar’s Position:
- Performance: Kuchar started the tournament strong with back-to-back 64s, leading through Saturday night. However, his third-round 70 and a final-round of 1-over 36 on the front nine have placed him six shots behind the eventual winner, Aaron Rai.
- FedExCup Impact: Entering the Wyndham Championship at No. 113 in the FedExCup standings, Kuchar needed a victory to extend his 17-year streak in the Playoffs. With his current T12 position and seven strokes behind the leader, his streak is set to end.
Monday Finish:
- Time: Kuchar will resume his final round at 8 a.m. ET on Monday, with a TOUR official marking his score.
Kuchar’s decision to finish his round on Monday adds a final chapter to what has already been a dramatic Wyndham Championship.
