Matt Kuchar and the Code

Matt Kuchar demonstrated great sportsmanship on Sunday afternoon in the heat of battle for the British Open.  Jordan Spieth had hit a terrible drive on the 13th hole, nearly 100 yards off line.  He was in such trouble it took him over 20 minutes to take a penalty stroke and then try to figure out how to hit his next shot.  When he finally did hit it, he made a good shot.  Kuchar, having waited patiently for Spieth to play, gave him a smile and a fist bump when he arrived on the green.  It is rare for any player to congratulate an opponent for a good shot during play, particularly at such a critical time.  Kuchar’s gesture was sportsmanship at its finest.  What are the moments of unexpected and great sportsmanship that you can recall?
