Matt Kuchar: It is ‘fun to sit back and watch’ son Cameron at PNC Championship | Golf Channel
https://www.youtube.com/golfchannel?sub_confirmation=1
Yeah, here with the leaders team cooer. Matt and Cameron, congratulations on the day. Matt, we have seen Cameron develop into a really nice player. What aspects of his game do you feel like is similar to yours and what is different? >> Well, it’s been fun for me to watch him grow up, watch him mature, and certainly get a lot better in the game of golf, and he’s turned into a sparring partner for me at home. It’s been really good fun having him to train with. Uh I certainly wish I had the speed. Uh it’s it’s it’s pretty awesome. I mean, he plays the kind of the the modern game that can smash it, but his his talent around the greens is awesome. I love the fact he still putts like a kid. He gets up, he just feels feels the read and goes and uh putts really well. So, it’s it’s fun fun to sit back and watch. >> Watching you guys, Cameron, the game looked pretty easy out there from our perspective. Did it feel that way with your dad >> today? It did. It’s nice having him to back me up on putts because he’s one of the best putters in the world. So, I kind of just go up there, hit freely. If I miss, I know he’s probably going to make. So, it makes it way easier to make putts. I think >> we are celebrating golf here, but we’re celebrating family as well. Um, this is first time in a while you haven’t been here with your dad, without your dad. Uh, have you thought about him today? >> Oh, yeah, absolutely. I uh had a couple putts uh to to kind of back Cameron up and thought, “All right, pop, I could use your help right now.” And uh so he’s definitely still here with us. He’s he’s certainly missed, but uh in spirit, we uh we we keep him around. And certainly not not a day goes by that I don’t want to pick up the phone and give him a call. >> Always smiling as the Coochers do. We wish you the best on Sunday. Thanks, guys. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, >> guys. >> So, that is Matt’s mother, >> Meg. Meg on the left, >> who you talked about earlier and uh it’s going to be an emotional Sunday. That is for sure. >> Yeah, I’ve had a couple of chances so far this week to sit and talk to me. I I knew Peter Coocher really well. We played together quite a few times. He was a incredibly positive guy. loved the game and clearly had a huge impact on uh on Matt and his development. So, Peter, we miss you. We wish uh we wish the coocher tomorrow the all the best.
