Matt Kuchar refuses to finish round in bizarre ending to chaotic Wyndham Championship

Matt Kuchar was the last player left at the Wyndham Championship.

Kuchar refused to play the final hole on Sunday, even as he sits far out of contention and his playing partners opted to fight through the darkening conditions to finish their tournament.

Kuchar, who was in the final group alongside Max Greyserman and Chad Ramey, was at 11-under and tied for 12th when he made the decision after hitting his tee shot on the 18th hole.

Kuchar’s move forced dozens of volunteers to return to Sedgefield Country Club after a chaotic week that saw tournament organizers (almost) squeeze in four full rounds of golf into three days after North Carolina was drenched by Tropical Storm Debby on Thursday, forcing the first round to be pushed back a day.

“I was trying to set an example for Max,” Kuchar told Golf Channel , referring to his playing partner Greyserman.

“We were so far past when we should’ve stopped playing. We saw what Max did on hole 16; they should’ve blown the hole there. I feel bad, the poor kid should’ve won this tournament. By me not playing, it may show Max he has an important shot to hit.”

Much of the drama on Sunday did revolve around the 29-year-old Greyserman, who had a four-shot lead after holing out for eagle on the 13th hole.

Greyserman proceeded to make a quadruple bogey on 14 after hitting his drive out of bounds to fall back into a tie for first.

He birdied 15 but then on 16 — which Kuchar referenced — Greyserman three-putted from three feet to see his one-shot lead turn into a one-shot deficit that he was unable to come back from.

Aaron Rai clinched the victory with a birdie on 18 in the group ahead of Kuchar and Greyserman.

Kuchar’s decision left the CBS broadcast team perplexed.

“This is something I can’t recall ever having seen before,” longtime play-by-play man Jim Nantz said in a conversation with rules official Orlando Pope.

“Before you guys called it, and a player who is not truly in contention to win it… I don’t expect we’ll be bringing you that coverage tomorrow.”

Pope relayed that Kuchar was told “theoretically” the horn was blown signaling that players did have the option not to continue.

Kuchar marked his ball in the rough on 18 and finished up Monday morning, making a par after getting up and down from short of the green.

Kuchar’s prize money, of course, would be impacted by how the hole plays out but there was little understanding on social media given he has nearly $60 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour.

“The difference between a 10-way for 12th and a seven-way tie for 21st is ~$58,000,” CBS Sports’ Kyle Porter wrote on X. “Matt Kuchar has made $59.8 million in his career. Cannot believe I’m typing any of these words.”
