Kuchar's ball takes hop into fan's drink

A bad hop put Matt Kuchar's ball in the drink at the Masters. A fan's drink.

Kuchar's approach shot on No. 9 Friday bounced on the green and splashed into the plastic cup of Jason Thompson, who was sitting along the right side of the hole at Augusta National.

Kuchar says ``it was fairly entertaining'' and ``I've seen it done before, but I've never personally done it.''

As allowed by the rules, Kuchar marked where the ball landed. Thompson then fished it out of the cup - ``I didn't want to dig my hands into his (drink)'' - and Kuchar dried it off before taking a drop.

He went on to make par.

And Thompson's drink?

Kuchar says ``it was almost empty'' and ``he wasn't going to miss out on a lot.''
