Hideki Matsuyama victorious at Masters, becomes first Japanese man to win major

R&I – FS

Hideki Matsuyama made history on Sunday as the first male golfer from Japan to win a major championship.

Ten years after making a sterling debut as the best amateur at Augusta National, Matsuyama claimed the ultimate trophy with a victory in the Masters.

Matsuyama, 29, closed with a 1-over 73 and a 1-shot victory that was close only at the end and was never seriously in doubt after Xander Schauffele‘s late charge ended with a triple bogey on the par-3 16th.
