SAN ANTONIO — Matt Kuchar finds himself at the point in his career when reflection starts to take precedence.
It’s been more than three years since the four-time Ryder Cupper won an individual PGA Tour event. The last time he made the cut in a major was before the pandemic. And last season, Kuchar missed as many cuts (12) as he made (12).
But the 43-year-old can still get it rolling when things click, as he did during the opening round of the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course on Thursday. Using a string of six birdies in eight holes, Kuchar finished the day with an impressive 67, just two shots off the lead after the early wave.
