AUGUSTA, Georgia: Hideki Matsuyama won the 85th edition of The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday to become the first player from Japan to win a men’s Major championship.
The 29-year-old finished a shot ahead of American rookie Will Zalatoris, after carding a final-round one-over-par 73 for a tournament total of 10-under. In Matsuyama’s homeland, it was 8 o’clock on Monday morning, rush hour, as an achievement that was decades in the making finally came to pass.
