Kuchar, who is currently tied for 12th place, left fans and experts perplexed by opting to stay in North Carolina for one more day.
The American world number 94 was in the last trio to participate in the course yesterday alongside Max Greyserman and Chad Ramey.
As daylight quickly disappeared, Kuchar raced to the final hole and teeed off quickly.
His shot was violent and he strangely changed his mind and declared that he would return to finish his round the next day.
The horn did not sound during the night, but official Orlando Pope reportedly spoke to the players.
Kuchar was heard asking, “Was the horn theoretically blown?”
Both Greyserman and Ramey chose to complete the route and not return Monday morning like Kuchar.
The 46-year-old’s decision left legendary commentator Jim Nantz perplexed.

He said: “The tournament is over, but it’s not over. It’s so strange.
“Kuchar said the horn was theoretically sounded and Officer Ken Tackett said yes and that he has the power to make that decision.

“He’s coming here tomorrow and I don’t think there will be anyone here to watch.
“I don’t expect us to bring that coverage tomorrow.
“It’s just an interesting decision – he’s not going to make the play-offs.”
Explaining his decision, Kuchar stated that he was trying to help Greyserman amid eventual winner Rai by birdieing the last hole in front of them to get two clear shots.
Kuchar said, “I was trying to set an example for Max. We were so far gone when we should have stopped playing. They should have opened the hole there [16th].
“I feel bad, the poor kid should have won this tournament. The fact that I didn’t play might show Max that he has an important shot to make.”
Pundits remained perplexed when Brandel Chamblee questioned, “Why did he tee off on the 18th?”
And Paige Mackenzie reacted: “Max can make his own decision. To say that he wanted to influence this other player in his decision-making is a bizarre statement.”
