There is no escape from the wrath of golf fans. And that was exactly the case with PGA Tour Pro Matt Kuchar. Confused much? Well, it all took place at the Wyndham Championship. The tournament was supposed to end on Sunday, as Aaron Rai had won his first PGA Tour title in six years. But then there was Kuchar, who just could not play any more golf, and decided to end his 72nd hole on Monday.
The golf fans were not happy with Kuchar’s decision and called him many things, including selfish and entitled. They started bashing the golfer on social media for his decision, and the golfer replied! As per the recent X post by NUCLR Golf, Matt Kuchar came forward with an apology for his actions that caused an unnecessary stir in the golf world. The golfer in the post-round presser said, “Again, it stinks to – nobody wants to be that guy that’s showing up today, one person, one hole. Not even one hole, half a hole to putt.”

The apology was directed towards the tournament and everyone who attended it or worked for it. “So apologies to the tournament, to everybody that had to come out. I know the ramifications, I know it stinks. Certainly I apologize to force everybody to come out here.”
