Kuchar smiles, and grinds, his way to a signature PLAYERS win!!

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - Matt Kuchar looked beyond the edge of the 16th green at a scene packed with enough stress it could wipe away even his smile.

Across the water was an island green that was awaiting him Sunday in The Players Championship. The guy dressed all in orange and pumping his first was Rickie Fowler after making a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th to cut Kuchar's lead to two shots.

Kuchar stepped over his 15-footer and answered with a birdie just as big.

"Yeah, absolutely I saw the putt," Kuchar said. "Watched the thing disappear and he gave a big fist pump. I knew it got him to within two shots and he could birdie 18 to bring it within one. That could have changed the whole scenario of how I would have approached and played 18. So I was really excited to drop that birdie on 16. That was big."

Enjoy the show!
