Matt Kuchar's game was en fuego on Saturday at El Cardonal at Diamante until suddenly it wasn't.
LOS CABOS, Mexico - hole. He had carded nine birdies and an eagle, channeling Tiger Woods on the course Woods designed, and gone from two shots behind Camilo Villegas at the start of the day to seven shots clear of him and six in front of the field. That's when disaster struck.
"One bad swing is probably all I made," Kuchar said."That’s a fairway that’s 70 yards wide. I mean, I hit that one in my sleep…and then from there 15 can kind of creep up and kind of get you." "Biggest shot of the day for me was that putt for bogey," he said."That’s one like walking off the green, I think had that not gone, in my head might have hung a little low.""Certainly I saw things going quickly, but I think I was able to stay about as calm as I’ve ever been when I’ve kind of seen these things start to move as quick as they move," he said.
Camilo Villegas wasn't as smooth as the first two day when he posted a pair of 64s, but he made three birdies on his final four holes to shoot 69 and share the 54-hole lead with Kuchar. Count van Rooyen among those who was surprised to see Kuchar let so many guys back into the title hunt.
