Matt Kuchar holed out from a bunker at the final hole on Sunday to win the US PGA Tour’s Heritage and hand Luke Donald another Harbour Town disappointment.
“I told my caddie before that last shot that I’m about to make one of these,’” said Kuchar, who started the day four shots off Donald’s 54-hole lead and fired a seven-under par 64 for an 11-under total of 273.
England’s Donald carded a two-under 69 for 274. The former world number one now has five top-three finishes in this $5.8 million tournament in the past six years — but no victories.
Americans Ben Martin and John Huh shared third place on 275. Martin closed with a 67 and Huh – who was lying second, two strokes behind Donald, going into the round – posted a final-round 68.
Kuchar was playing four groups ahead of Donald, but after the American’s dramatic finish gave him a one-stroke lead the Englishman was unable to find a birdie in his remaining three holes.
