Matt Kuchar, Bio.

Born: 21st June 1978
Home: Sea Island, Georgia

Being six-foot four, Matt Kuchar is a tall and imposing figure out on the golf course. But appearances really are deceptive. The American belies his large frame with both precision and a deft sleight of hand. Make no mistake though, he can still hammer those drives with devastating power. In fact, Kuchar is one of the most well-rounded players out there.

In 2012, Kuchar reminded everyone what his varied style and sheer determination could produce. As soon as he took the lead from Kevin Na at the eighth hole, he never looked back. The chasing pack put him under immense pressure, but he simply shrugged it off. Eventually, Maui Jim pro Kuchar finished 13-under par to seal a memorable win. We get the feeling there's more to come from the in-form star too...
