Matt Kuchar gets emotional explaining loss to his sons

"That was really, really sweet for them to be there. An amazing gesture for them to be there and support. Was difficult on me to see the kids in tears knowing their dad didn't win. It's an interesting position as a father. When your kids are young, they look up to you like you're Superman. Kind of you're their hero. You're the one to protect them and save them and to do great things. And when it doesn't work out and you aren't the hero holding the trophy, it's saddening, as well. I saw the look in their eyes, and I wanted to be that guy. So I was a little bit broken myself that I wasn't that guy."

But golf is a very, very humbling game, and amazing the lessons you learn. We had a similar situation [in] Houston, probably three or four years ago. I was right there looking like I was going to win the tournament. I bogey the 18th, end up going in a playoff with Matt Jones and he chips in in a playoff to beat me. So my kids were busted that I didn't win."

We had a flight getting home that got delayed, and we went to a bowling alley and killed some time. I had to tell them, I said, listen, you do your best. You play your best, you try on every shot, and sometimes it goes your way and sometimes it doesn't. You have to learn that these things happen."

They are such great lessons that come from golf. You know, this was one of them. I did my best. I tried my hardest and it didn't work out. Certainly going to keep trying. And so it's hard when you don't come through as Superman, but it's lessons that I think will pay dividends in the long run."
