A sensational final round of 64 helped the 35-year-old to narrowly edged out Luke Donald, beating the Englishman by one stroke on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
Kuchar stormed into Sunday’s round carding 7 birdies in the first 10 holes. A slip on the 17th, where the golfer 3-putted for bogey, was soon overshadowed by the amazing chip-in he made on the 18th.
“I heard the crowd go crazy,” Kuchar said afterwards. “Then I went crazy.”
The win has given Kuchar his first top-spot since last June’s Memorial Tournament and a sizeable purse worth over $1 million USD.
