Two players of U.S. turn from Ryder Cup to PGA Tour

After being on the losing side at the Ryder Cup, Matt Kuchar and Zach Johnson returned from Wales this week wanting more out of the match-play event.


They’ll have to settle for a strong start to the PGA Tour Fall Series.


Kuchar and Johnson are the only two U.S. Ryder Cup players in the field for this week’s McGladrey Classic at the Sea Island Club’s Seaside Course. The two relative newcomers in the Ryder Cup went 3-2-2 for the U.S., which lost by one point to Europe at Celtic Manor.


The two are playing this week mainly because they are residents of St. Simons Island.


Rain pushed the singles matches in the Ryder Cup to Monday, so Kuchar and Johnson didn’t arrive home until Tuesday night. The two were on the course Wednesday to play in the McGladrey pro-am, and were candid about their experiences in one of the most dramatic Ryder Cup finishes ever, the first since 1991 that came down to the final singles match.


Johnson, who was playing in his second Ryder Cup, won the 11th of the 12 singles matches against Padraig Harrington to give Hunter Mahan and the U.S. a fighting chance.
