What The Hell Is It That Makes Matt Kuchar So Damn Smiley?

Matt Kuchar's smile.  If he was told the world was going to end in five minutes, he would be smiling. If Nick Faldo pulled his pants down and slapped his bum, Kuch wouldn't mind; he'd still be smiling.  Hang on, that DID happen.

So why the hell is Matt Kuchar so damn happy?

First, he's from that set of ultra polite people that make the world a better place. There's more please and thank you in the average Kuchar day than a  busy Chinese Take Away.

Second, Matt is one hell of a positive guy.  Instead of wallowing away in self pity over what happened in San Antonio and Texas and even on the 17th in Harbour Town, he wore the smile and waited his turn to win. And it came.

Not that Kuchar needs to win to be smiling.  Anyone who dipped as low as he did after becoming US Amateur Champion and turning pro to then falling into golfing obscurity before being reborn in the late noughties is bound to appreciate his current position more than most.

Matt's no saint though, but even his practical jokes are executed with a smile like the time he locked Butch Harmon into a portaloo at East Lake.  That was golden!

Even when he's not winning Kuchar is consistently lodging wheelbarrow loads of cash every week. That makes him smile, his sponsors smile, the bank manager smile and the family smile.

And what about that family?  Was he hell going to go to the practice ground while waiting to see if Luke Donald could match his total at Hilton Head. Not a hope, Kuch was inside mucking around his sons.

“We've got to go get a trophy,” he said. Smiling.
