MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Matt Kuchar has applauded the decision to switch the World Cup of Golf back to a team-based competition after a much-criticized format change saw the last edition dominated by an individual-focused tournament.

World number 16 Kuchar partnered Gary Woodland to win the World Cup for the United States in China in 2011 but was left cold by the 2013 tournament in Melbourne, which placed the emphasis on individual strokeplay.
