Sergio was an idiot. Pick up the ball, don't flail at it. At least he didn't slam down his putter on the green, again.

After the horror show that was that "we are all cool!" video in the cart I think they should play a game of who is tougher, post it on twitter and then we can all end this discussion.
For those that have not partaken, to find out who is tougher you stand opposite each other and kick the other in the crotch until someone relents. In my experience kick first and immediately declaring your opponent the winner is the best strategy, but in this case I think the golf world would enjoy seeing each of these guys get a few shots to the bean bag.
Kuchar did nothing wrong. He shouldn't even be a part of the conversation. It was all Garcia.
How do you figure that? You shouldn't have to look at your opponent when the ball is that close to the hole. Whilst Sergio was stupid, the whole incident doesn't happen if Kuchar says "it's good" or something similar.
Slight change of topic, but what would you do?
I've actually been there, in comp matchplay dude putted to 5 inches and then hit ball away in frustration. Before I could concede putt.
I let it slide and took the half, but I shouldn't have and would have been right to do what Kuchar did.

In a match play event, you certainly should have to look at your opponent. It's his call. No matter if it's an inch or 4 feet. That's part of the whole match play layout.How do you figure that?

Looking further into it, what if they just went to the next hole and Kuchar says "oh, it was good" and then video shows that exchange never happened. Does Kuchar then lose the hole?
Golf, in most realms, is a game of honor and self policing. The pros obviously have eyes on then at all times, so it's even more stringent on those rules.
And honestly, it's not hard to play by the rules.... Especially this one.

This boggles the mind.
It’s match play. The player chooses what his opponent has to putt or is given. Not the opponent.
In a tournament? Under no circumstance should a player get to decide which ones of his putts are good.
All it would have taken was a half glance at Kuchar to get the concession. Terrible decision and I hope nothing about the rules change personally.
Why should Sergio even have to do that? I can't think of any guy in the field who wouldn't give that putt so why was it not given?
Now, the rule is the rule, I have never said anything to the contrary but it's a douche move by Kuchar.

I was the guy who swiped at a 6" putt in anger and missed it. if I would have handled it the right way I would have halved the hole. My opponent asked for my score, almost expecting me to not count the extra stroke. I counted it and he won the hole. It was 100% a me problem, it would have been absurd to expect anything from my opponent.Slight change of topic, but what would you do?
