Pretty much Kuchar's championship to lose now.

Huge putt for Rickie and Kuuuch answers

I can't believe they (the tournament directors) don't get him (the yelling dbag) out of there...

It has gotten out of hand, these idiots need to be kicked out of the event by the PGA.

Na hitting a fairway wood off the cart path with what seem to be metal spikes on. Probably the fewest waggles he's taken all day and he puts it on the green.

Gutsy move IMO, says a lot for his swing control that he was willing to take a full swing from the path.

Kuchars got this! Congrats!

[SamCreamer]

well deserved by kuch!

[Motley01]

Well done Kuch!!! I've always liked him, he's a nice guy, deserves this nice win.

What is with the fans there? They were so disrespectful, it was like Bethpage Black again. All week they were sreaming crazy stuff, and today they kept yelling at Kevin Na to hit the ball, when he wasn't even playing slow. He said sometimes when he backed off, is because some idiots kept yelling at him.

Poor guy, I think he concentrated too much on playing fast, that he got out of his game.

And to the idiots with beers in there hands yelling crazy stupid thing while players are trying to concentrate, grow up.

This will be expensive in the club house

But Luke played the back nine terrific, propably taking the 1st spot in the world rankings right back.

I think Luke needed 4th or better, so Rory barely hangs onto it with a 9.65 to 9.52 "average"

I think he did that yesterday as well- shows what sort of shape he is in...don`t imagine that Colt Knost or Kevin Stadler does that very often.

They should have start throwing people out that were doing that but I imagine it is hard to tell who was saying stuff.

I really think that may have been the most classless things I've ever witnessed in golf?

Poor guy hits his shot in the water, and then the jerk offs starting singing 'Na, na, na, naaaa... Hey, hey, hey... Good bye!'

I bet there was no alcohol involved lol

[carpediem4300]

the reason augusta is the most awesome event ever is because mindless pricks that shout crap get their entry card taken off them, chucked out and banned for life

if only every  golf event did this, its obvious the players hate it, i cant see why its not done??

and what douche bag started screaming "light the candle" on every fricking hole on day 2?.......

I would think 99% of the on-course fans would appreciate it, too.

Come to think of it, I wonder if any of those loudmouths has ever been punched by the fan standing next to him.

(And what the hell does "mashed potatoes" signify, anyway ...?)

[carpediem4300]

i found "mashed potatoe" funny the first time,....annoying the second time,...then it was in the same league as the rest after that

i think punching the shouters would be good, but no need to lower yourself to that level,...although i will admitt when i go to lytham for the open its gunna be hella hard not going ninja on people

[wolfsburg2]

The PGA needs to start enforcing some type of rules for spectators. Those guys yelling at Na would have gotten a straight up talking to by me if I were a fan standing there at the time. I'd also have pressed the event people to have them ejected. Thats not good for golf, not good for golfers and certainly not good for the rest of the fanstrying to watch there or at home.

If I had my kids with me I would have been even more upset. go yell that garbage at a football game, golf is not for "you people" lol.

I didn't say I'd do it, or that I'm advocating it ... but I wouldn't be too surprised if it happened.  Nor would I have much sympathy for the shouter.

Question about Na's "bad timing" confrontation late in the third round:

Why?  I thought you were no longer "on the clock" if you caught up to the group in front of you.  At that point in the round Na was clearly caught up - even having to wait for the group ahead to clear the green.

Surely the PGA doesn't want him to hit into other players just to adhere to a "shot clock"!
