Matt Kuchar Leads Wyndham Championship to Keep Playoff Streak Alive
- Matt Kuchar shot a second straight 6-under 64, leading the Wyndham Championship.
- He requires a victory to extend his FedEx Cup playoffs streak.
- The tournament was rain-delayed, but Kuchar's performance keeps him in contention.
Matt Kuchar, the only player to qualify for every postseason in FedEx Cup history, expressed his frustrations with the current season but remains optimistic about his performance. "Certainly been a frustrating year, but I feel like the bar’s been set high," Kuchar stated, reflecting on his consistent play throughout the year. The nine-time tour winner faced a grueling 36-hole Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club, following a rain-affected schedule that disrupted play on Thursday and delayed it further on Friday and Saturday. The wet conditions allowed players to lift, clean, and place their golf balls in the fairways, which benefited Kuchar as he climbed the leaderboard with crucial late birdies. He noted, "When it’s wet, it’s really no fun," but managed to stay aggressive with his iron shots, showcasing his adaptability in challenging weather. Max Greyserman, who shot an impressive 60, is just a stroke behind Kuchar, alongside Cameron Young and Chad Ramey. Greyserman expressed hope for more birdies in the upcoming rounds, emphasizing the need for patience and a continued aggressive approach. He narrowly missed a 50-foot birdie putt on the final hole, leaving him eager for redemption. As the players prepare for a demanding day ahead, Ramey mentioned his plans for recovery, including a visit to the physio and an ice bath, acknowledging the long day of golf that awaits them. The tournament continues to draw attention as players strive for excellence under pressure.
