Kuchar Clan Prove a Winning Combination in Fiji

(Reuters) - Matt Kuchar secured a four-stroke victory at the Fiji International on Sunday, savoring a special moment with his father, who carried his bag throughout the tournament.

Peter Kuchar often caddied for the world number 16 during his amateur days, providing fatherly advice at major golf tournaments including the Masters and U.S. Open.

Both had their work cut out for them during the opening two days of the tournament when gale-force winds pounded the fairways at the Natadolo Bay Golf Club.

There were some moments of levity, however, including early on day one when a gust rolled Matt Kuchar's ball into the second hole when he was lining up a tricky double-bogey putt from a few feet.
