Matt Kuchar demonstrated great sportsmanship on Sunday afternoon in the heat of battle for the British Open. Jordan Spieth had hit a terrible drive on the 13th hole, nearly 100 yards off line. He was in such trouble it took him over 20 minutes to take a penalty stroke and then try to figure out how to hit his next shot. When he finally did hit it, he made a good shot. Kuchar, having waited patiently for Spieth to play, gave him a smile and a fist bump when he arrived on the green. It is rare for any player to congratulate an opponent for a good shot during play, particularly at such a critical time. Kuchar’s gesture was sportsmanship at its finest. What are the moments of unexpected and great sportsmanship that you can recall?
