Matt Kuchar picked up his second win in three starts at the Sony Open in Hawaii thanks to a scorching finish that saw the nine-time PGA Tour winner make six birdies over his last 10 holes.
Three early bogeys erased Kuchar’s two-shot advantage and dropped him out of the lead for the first time since Thursday, but the Georgia Tech graduate showed his mettle, storming back to earn a comfortable four-shot victory.
