Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Matt Kuchar of St. Simons Island, Georgia. Mr. Kuchar competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics and won a bronze medal in the men's individual golf competition. He completed his fantastic Olympic week at 13 under par with a final round of 63, describing it as the round of his life. This great week does not come simply by chance for Mr. Kuchar. He has worked tirelessly over the past years to improve his game and has consistently been near the lead in many important tournaments. In 1997, he began his stellar career as an All-American at Georgia Tech. Then in 2000, he turned to the professional ranks. In his 16 years as a pro, he has had 12 professional wins, including important tournaments such as the 2012 Players Championship, the 2013 Memorial Tournament, and the 2014 RBC Heritage. Mr. Kuchar's smile and personality is an inspiration to all golfers. He is notoriously one of the nicest players on the professional circuit. It is an honor to recognize him today. Mr. Kuchar, you made Georgia's First Congressional District very, very proud. ____________________
