HONOLULU – Following his victory last fall at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, his first on the PGA Tour in over four years, Matt Kuchar’s first thought was “aloha.”
The victory checked off a lot of boxes for the 40-year-old, but the one that immediately came to mind was that he’d qualified for the winner’s-only Sentry Tournament of Champions in Maui.
The Kuchars have always made the most of the Aloha Swing, and following the Sony Open they plan to vacation in the islands for another two weeks. So, it was only fitting that as Kuchar surveyed his 2-footer for birdie on the last hole on Sunday, the skies cleared to reveal a rainbow that perfectly framed Waialae Country Club’s 18th hole.
