WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The wily veteran returns to Australia on a two-part mission this year – taking aim at the Stonehaven Cup at the same venue where he missed the cut in 2011 before representing Team USA in his third World Cup of Golf. With a recent win on the PGA Tour in Mexico, Kuchar will be bringing his hot form down under. Always a crowd favourite who will undoubtedly draw chants of “Kuuuuuuch” around The Lakes this week.
