Little did Temple men's golf alum Brandon Matthews know that a simple act human kindness would go viral.
The Owl All-American lost the Argentine Open on the third hole of a playoff after a man, who has downs syndrome, disrupted his eight-foot birdie putt by screaming on the Dupont, Pa, native's backswing. Matthews, initially upset as the disturbance caused him a chance at the championship which carried with it a coveted exemption to The Open Championship.
When Matthews, who starred at Temple from 2012-16, was informed that the person who screamed suffers from Downs Syndrome he quickly reached out to the man, making sure he was alright.
