Leave it to Mr. Masters himself to deliver some absolutely brutal burns on the 18th green. CBS announcer Jim Nantz showed no mercy when taking aim at Matt Kuchar's bizarre decision making during Sunday's final round of the Wyndham Championship.

 

As the rest of the field slogged through rain all day to get 72 holes in, Kuch decided he'd had enough after 17 and packed it in early. Nevermind that he was only a few shots out of the top 10 and had plenty left to play for financially. Nah, the nine-time PGA Tour winner said screw it and bailed before hitting his tee shot on the difficult dogleg finishing hole at Sedgefield CC.

 

 

Now, Kuch is certainly within his rights to stop if it's too dark or dangerous. But do we really think a veteran like him couldn't handle one more par 4 in fading light? Please. He was just trying to avoid potential embarrassment if things went south late, if you ask me. The move didn't sit well with fans watching at home, and Nantz knew it.

 

After Kuchar retreated to the clubhouse, probably to count his millions again, Nantz gave a beautiful parting shot. "I don't expect we'll be bringing you that coverage tomorrow," he quipped, perfectly calling out Kooch's weak finish. The man never misses! Nantz showed no mercy, just like Kuchar showed the rest of the field scrambling to get their rounds in.

 

 

 

 

 

Look, Kuchar has made a small fortune on tour and has the right to do what he wants. But if I'm him, I'm definitely not showing my face around that North Carolina country club any time soon. The members are probably still steaming he abandoned them in their hour of need. That's going to be one awkward bagel on Monday morning...

 

So in the end, big props to Nantz for saying what we were all thinking - and doing it in such a spectacularly savage way. The broadcast king remains undefeated with his shot selection. You've gotta love it!
