A biography for Matt Kucharhasn’t been written yet.
“I've always been a guy that's liked a crowd and having people around cheering for me. I'm not a guy that will keep his head down or respond negatively to boos or whatever.”
“Even if you finish the year at No. 1 in the world, and Tiger Woods has done this, you can still probably get better.”
“I have a random array of ball markers in my bag and don't use any specific one. Many are the plastic kind you find at almost any golf course.”
“When I'm really purring it, I feel as if my whole left side - from knee to hip to shoulder - is turning behind me as I swing through the ball.”
“I felt I could play in maybe a dozen tournaments a year as an amateur.”
“I found an instructor, Chris O'Connell, who helped me. He turned me into the player I am today - a consistent golfer.”
“I like to challenge myself. There are not many guys on tour who can give me a challenge in Ping-Pong. So I'll throw some points to see if I can come back.”
“I was always taught that the first rule of bunker play is to just get the ball out. When you have a steep face in front of you, this rule applies more than ever. Here, you have to get the ball up in the air as quickly as possible.”
“I dislike the gym, but I'll chase a tennis ball all day.”
“I'm John McEnroe-like. I'm coming forward every opportunity I get. My wingspan covers some ground at the net. My serve is OK. I can move it around enough. My groundstrokes are good enough to hang in a rally with a good player. But generally, my goal is to put away a point quickly.”
“I used to turn my shoulders pretty level, which a lot of golfers think is correct. But that made my swing too shallow coming into impact, so my contact was picky, especially off the turf.”
“I'm a decent table tennis player, but if you were to put me up against any of the guys you see on television at the Olympics, I'd be lucky to get a couple of points.”
