Yesterday’s final round of The Players Championship probably was the biggest day in Matt Kuchar’s professional career, but his road to victory at the Stadium Course actually began the previous Monday. That’s the day Kuchar received his new Rife Island Series Barbados putter.
“We made Matt a brand new Barbados with a special bend and bore angle that would fit his putting style better,” said Jim Barfield, vice president of tour operations for RIFE Putters, “We hand delivered it to him at The Players Championship on Monday and he felt so comfortable with it that he immediately put it into play.”
The putter Kuchar used was 44.5 inches long, with a lie angle of 70 degrees and five degrees of loft.
