Matt Kuchar misses half-court shot, still donates $25,000 to charity

Matt Kuchar is a really good athlete but apparently not a good enough basketball player to bury half-court shots at NBA games.

Several PGA Tour golfers playing in this week's Cadillac Championship at Doral took in a Miami Heat game on Wednesday night.

One of them, Matt Kuchar, even got a chance to shoot a half-court shot for $25,000 to give to charity. He barely missed but still gave the money out of his own pocket to United Way.

He can afford it, too. 

Last place among 74 guys at Doral gets $42,000. For perspective, that's the 19th-place check this week in Puerto Rico.
