Matt Kuchar misses half-court shot at Miami Heat game, still gets photo taken with cheerleaders

March 05, 2015

A bunch of golfers playing in this week's WGC-Cadillac Championship attended the nearby Miami Heat game on the eve of the tournament. But only one player, put his basketball skills to the test.

Matt Kuchar attempted a half-court shot during the second quarter for charity. Unfortunately, he missed -- it's not exactly a gimme -- but his close effort impressed. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be good footage of the shot, but you get the idea thanks to this video posted by Lee Westwood:

Play hasn't started at Doral yet, but Kuchar is a clear frontrunner for the week's MVP.
