Matt Kuchar picked up his fourth PGA TOUR victory at the 2012 PLAYERS, and returns to defend his title this week.

Matt Kuchar is among the class of the field at this week’s Valero Texas Open.

If you are looking for a guy that should finish the week safely inside the top 20, Kuchar may be your man. He’s only played TPC San Antonio one time, leaving with a share of 13th last year. There’s no doubt that his mind could wander towards next week’s trip to Augusta National, but he is a known commodity in a field largely consisting of unknowns this week.

Matt Kuchar knocked off defending champion Hunter Mahan 2 and 1 in the championship match of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship to nab his first WGC title.

After halving the first three holes, Kuchar went on a run where he won four holes in a five-hole span with two birdies and two pars. Mahan then won the 10th with a par and the par-5 11th with a birdie and looked like he was going to take the 12th with a tight approach to the par 3. It wasn't meant to be, as Kuchar rolled in a mid-range birdie on top of him to squelch the momentum. Kuchar took the 13th, but surrendered the 14th and 16th to significantly tighten the match. He then kept his streak alive of not having a match go to the 18th hole all week, making a birdie from a fairway bunker on the par-4 17th hole to close out Mahan. Not only was the win is his first WGC title, but it was also his fifth PGA TOUR victory. While he would have eventually qualified for the PGA Championship, this clinches the berth. He's now fully exempt on TOUR through 2017-18.

Matt Kuchar had little trouble disposing of Jason Day 4 and 3 in the semifinals of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

After the first few holes, the wind picked up and made Dove Mountain a beast of a course. Kuchar adjusted well and, with the exception of the par-4 10th hole when his drive was unplayable, he didn't give Day an inch. Day on the other hand, seemingly never was comfortable and failed to record a birdie on any hole. He also never looked comfortable with the flat stick. Kuchar now advances to face the winner of Hunter Mahan and Ian Poulter, where Mahan holds a large advantage.

Matt Kuchar squared off against Robert Garrigus in the quarterfinals of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play and bested the bomber 3 and 2 to win the Hogan Bracket.

Kuchar had control of the match from the start, winning the first hole and never trailing. That may have been the key, as Garrigus had never trailed this week until Kuchar put him down. After taking a 4-up lead, Kuchar had a chance to step on Garrigus' throat on the par-5 11th after the bomber hit his second shot out of bounds, but Kuchar stubbed his toe and halved with bogey. He then dropped the next two, shrinking his lead to two and giving Garrigus life. After winning the par-4 15th, Kuchar slammed the door with a par on the 16th hole. He awaits the winner of the match featuring Jason Day and Graeme McDowell.

Overnight leader Matt Kuchar chased his opening 64 at the Northern Trust Open with a 2-over-par 39-34=73 to reach the halfway mark of the tournament in 5-under 137, four strokes back of the 36-hole lead.

He's also poured in a par save from 11'3" at 6. Kuchar's only notable par breaker was a zero-putt birdie from eight yards away at the eighth hole.
