Matt Kuchar comes up clutch at Players Championship

[sagacious]

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Matt Kuchar endured his fidgety playing partner Sunday and got the better of the treacherous Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass to win the biggest title of his professional career.
It helps to be as steady as the day is long.
Never looking frazzled or rushed — and with a smile on his face nearly every step — Kuchar passed Kevin Na by the turn and held off the rest of the field to win ThePlayers Championship, the flagship event for the PGA Tour.
Starting the day one behind and playing with 54-hole leader Na, Kuchar got off to a shaky start with a bogey but finished with four birdies against only one other bogey to shoot 2-under-par 70. He finished 13 shots under par and two ahead of Rickie Fowler, Zach Johnson, Martin Laird and Ben Curtis.
It was Kuchar's fourth Tour title and first since the 2010 Barclays. Hitting 62.5% of the fairways and 73.6% of greens in regulation, Kuchar never got himself into serious danger on a course full of it and didn't make more than a bogey on one of the toughest tracks on Tour and shot 68-68-69-70.
"I feel like my mental game is one of my strongest suits," said Kuchar, who went to No. 5 in the official world golf rankings and collected a $1.71 million check. "Not a whole lot gets under my skin. Playing against a guy who may be a distraction isn't going to bother me. I knew before the round started it wasn't going to get the best of me. … My demeanor probably is one of my strong suits for the game of golf.
"Kevin's a great guy, nice to everybody. He's just fighting through demons. It's not an envious thing to do. I'm glad it's not happening to me."
Kuchar took the outright lead with a birdie at No. 9 and extended it with another birdie at No. 12. He had a three-shot lead facing a birdie putt from 15 feet on the 16th when he looked across the lake and saw Fowler can a birdie putt of his own to pull within two. Kuchar then made his putt to increase his cushion.
"I was glad to stick it to Rickie," Kuchar said with a big smile on his face. "I was really excited to make that putt. It was a huge putt."
Fowler, going for his second consecutive win, started fast with two birdies in his first four holes, but he lost momentum with a double bogey on No. 5. He rallied to make it interesting with four birdies on the back nine. He could have made things really interesting if he had made a 7-foot birdie putt on the final hole but watched it slide past on the right.
Na, who didn't make enough putts and took hundreds of waggles as he struggled with his pre-shot routine throughout the tournament, and backed off numerous shots and purposely swung through and missed so he could start over, finished with a 76 and in a tie for seventh.
"I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I had a lot of people heckling me out there, also people pulling for me, which I appreciated," Na said. "I do need to work on my pre-shot routine. I do need to play faster. But the average golfer has no clue how much pressure we're playing under and how tough it is and how much of a fight for it it is mentally. I honestly think with all that going on, I did pretty well fighting. I had a good fight. I hung in there."
On one shot in the third round, he took 48 seconds to hit his shot after he first got over the ball.
"I know the whole world is watching. I'm trying to play as fast as I could," Na said Sunday. "I was 40 yards ahead of Matt basically trying to sprint out to my ball so I can get to it with extra time.
"I'm going to try to take out the whole waggle. I'm going to try to do a little up-and-down behind the ball, but it's going to take time, practice and tournaments, and I'm going to try to take out the whole waggle.
"Honestly, it's going to be a battle."
While Na was slow to pull the trigger throughout the tournament, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson never really fired. Both closed with 73 and Woods finished at 1 under and Mickelson at 3 under.
"I'll just keep working. I felt that I did it well in spurts again; just need to be a little bit more consistent, and as I said earlier in the week, just got to play the par-5s better than I did," said Woods, who made seven birdies in 16 attempts on the par-5s. "That's something I didn't do. I had a lot of irons into the par 5s and didn't take care of them."
Mickelson, who was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame earlier in the week, got it going early in the final round with two birdies in four holes but couldn't keep the early momentum going.
"I played pretty well this week. I did not score well. I didn't salvage the shots around the greens the way I wanted to," Mickelson said. "I didn't putt that well. Certainly I didn't putt as well as I had been putting all year and didn't post a number.
"When it's all said and done, the only thing that matters in this game and in this tournament is the score, and I didn't post a good enough score. But the game doesn't feel far off; just a little click here or there and hopefully I'll get it turned around."

Animal studies suggest that the cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins protect the kidneys from such damage,chaussures louboutin pas cher, but whether a similar benefit occurs in humans is uncertain. To investigate, Amber Molnar,abercrombie and fitch, University of Western Ontario, and colleagues conducted a population-based retrospective study of all older patients who underwent major elective surgery in the province of Ontario, Canada from 1995 to 2008.

"Our study suggests that statin use in older persons results in less kidney injury following major elective surgery and reduces the risk of premature death after surgery,christian louboutin pas cher," said Molnar,chaussure louboutin pas cher, adding that the results warrant further investigation with more rigorous studies, but such trials will be difficult to carry out.

Honoring the Sacred in Everyday Life
How many of us rush blindly through our days, fall into bed exhausted,christian louboutin pas cher, and wake up the next morning to do it all over again? For many of us,maillot de foot pas cher, our lives are composed of millions of meaningless moments, all strung together -- perhaps with a sprinkling of sacred moments mixed in. I'm sure you can think of a few sacred moments in your own life. Maybe your marriage, the birth of your child(ren), or perhaps a heartfelt moment of connection with a good friend. These are the moments when we are consumed with joy and awe. At these moments, we are fully present in the moment. We aren't worrying about tomorrow,, or trying to rush through the experience to get to the next. We are in the now, and the now is amazing.Why do we wait for major events to honor these sacred moments? Why can't every day be sacred? Every moment? Each moment is sacred, if we decide to make it that way. I stated above that our lives are filled with meaningless moments, but those moments are meaningless only because we don't honor them. We are hurrying along, focused on other things,jordan, not stopping to notice them at all. They come and go without so much as an acknowledgement from us.Honoring the sacred means simply choosing to make each moment count. It is a tiny shift in perception that assigns meaning and importance to each moment. It means stopping to notice the beauty and love around us, and within us. It means being fully present in each moment,louboutin pas cher, because only the present moment truly exists. So many of us worry about the future, hold regrets about the past, and completely ignore the present. When we give the now our full attention, even mundane tasks can take on an aura of holiness. Then our lives become millions of meaningful moments. Nothing has changed except our perception, but it makes all the difference.How do we change our perception to one of sacredness? What does it mean to stay in the present moment? Let's use an example: washing dishes. When most of us wash dishes, we hurry through it,louis vuitton pas cher, often thinking about the million other things we need to get done that day (or the next day). Our minds are scattered all over the place,ralph lauren, focusing on everything but what we are doing. Who can blame us? Washing dishes is not the most exciting experience. However, if we choose to make it a sacred experience,christian louboutin, we will want to focus on it. We want to take our time and really pay attention to how the water feels on our hands, how the soap cleanses away the grease and grime, and the sense of satisfaction we get as each dish moves from the dirty pile to the strainer,sac longchamp, now clean and shiny.Maybe that still doesn't sound very thrilling. Let's look at what else is happening. As we give our full attention to washing the dishes, we are not only "doing", we are being. Ah, that is the key. It doesn't matter what we're doing or not doing in each moment of our lives,louis vuitton, it matters only that we become aware of our own state of Being. In those moments, we are fully alive and conscious. We are connected to everything, and we are One with everything. We are.Have you ever embarked on a walking meditation? This can be great practice to help you honor the sacred in your own life. Many of us walk for health or recreation, but we can also walk for spiritual awareness. A walking meditation is a slow, focused walk where you give your full attention to each step you take, the feel of your muscles working, your breathing, and even your surroundings. Especially if you walk someplace in nature,polo ralph lauren, a place with lots of trees and wildlife. The trick is to not let your mind wander, but stay focused on the now. It can take practice,sac longchamp pas cher, but once you accomplish it, you will return from your walks fully refreshed and revitalized.Imagine every day of your life holding joy,air jordan, peace and meaning. Imagine miracles consistently happening all around you. Imagine being filled with awe and gratitude each day, and lying down to sleep each night feeling peaceful and relaxed. You can,louboutin, if you choose it. All it takes is that tiny shift in perception. Choose to make it so, and it will be so.Wendy Betterini is a freelance writer and web designer who strives to motivate, uplift, and inspire you to make your dreams a reality.
