Watch: Kuchar clinches Presidents Cup for the U.S. at Royal Melbourne

Matt Kuchar was often the center of attention in 2019, but too often for the wrong reasons.

From his stiffing of El Tucan, to his semi-dispute with Sergio Garcia, to his excessive landscaping in a waste bunker, Kuchar's assorted controversies overshadowed an otherwise excellent year of golf.

But Kuchar will exit 2019 in style, having secured the Presidents Cup for the United States with this birdie putt at the 17th hole Sunday at Royal Melbourne.

That make pushed Kuchar to 1 up with one to play in his singles match with Louis Oosthuizen, guaranteeing the United States a half-point and the Presidents Cup.
