Hideki Matsuyama wins Zozo Championship by 5 strokes |
In 2019, British Open champion Tiger Woods won the first Zozo Championship, the first PGA Tour event in Japan. Last year, the game moved to California due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Matsuyama shot 65 and 265
under 15 at the Narashino Country Club. This is his seventh PGA Tour win.
If there was any doubt,
Matsuyama's second shot of the par-5 on the 18th hole pushed the 3 wood in
about 12 feet, pushing it into the eagle thrust?
When asked when he thought he
had won the home game, Matsuyama said through an interpreter: "It could be
my 18-year-old second shot, and that could be the key."
The Americans finished in
second place with 10 results under par: Brendan Steele shot 66 and Cameron
Tringale shot 69.
Tringale was two shots
behind Matsuyama on the 18th hole, but the Japanese eagle and American bogey
made it a five-stroke mat.
"I have to take some
risks, unfortunately, it didn't work out, but I played 16 really good holes
that day," said Tringale.
British Open champion Collin Morikawa fired 69 shots on
the final round, 10 shots behind Matsuyama.

Schauffele said: "It's not
exactly the same experience and it didn't play well, but despite the lockdown
and the COVID rules, I still like being here." "I saw some of my
relatives here, which is really cool. I didn't have a chance to see them, so it
was a shining moment for me."
The lone leg of the PGA Tour
swing in Asia drew just three of the top 20 rankings in the world.
