“Oh yeah, you see that Robby?” he said to Ware after viewing the replay. “It popped straight up. That has potential to have broken a different ground than what was initially a pitch mark.”
Ware wasn’t buying this nonsense, as he shouldn’t, and that led Kuchar to ask for a second opinion so Stephen Cox showed up and he also sided with Ware.
“Ultimately it’s already in a hole made by somebody else,” Cox said. “I’m not buying that fact on the second bounce we’re now gonna get you out of a pitch mark made by somebody else.”
When asked by Kuchar to look at the video, Cox offered this up … it’s GOLD!
“I don’t need to look at it, Matt,” Cox continued. “The guys have already seen it on TV. Let’s get back into play.”
This led Kuchar, the so-called “Mr. Nice Guy” to ask for a THIRD-freaking-opinion. He was promptly told NO and that ended the more than 10 minutes of back-and-forth.
Let’s be honest here. There is absolutely no way that that second hop made a big enough indentation in the ground to require relief and Kuchar is literally trying to change the rules during play to favor his own scorecard.
Of course, in his interview after the round, Kuchar didn’t mention that he asked for a third opinion in his interview after the round.
“The only reason I did it is just from seeing the video,” Kuchar said. “I only asked for a second one because I thought there was potential and thought, you never know, you may get someone else who says there is potential for that to happen and we need to look further into that.”
He sure seems like a complete tool.
