The groundbreaking Masters champ so shy he had to be coaxed into celebrating – Sydney Morning Herald
After becoming a national hero as the first Japanese man to win a major, Hideki Matsuyama lifted his arms in triumph at Augusta National. Eventually.
The new face of Japanese golf is shy and tight-lipped, so much so that when he was married and had a child in 2017 he kept it hidden from the golf world for seven months. Sunday, after receiving his ceremonial green jacket, Matsuyama stood motionless, his arms at his sides as photographers took his picture. Urged to look celebratory, he raised both arms overhead and meekly smiled. Emboldened by the winsome reaction it elicited, Matsuyama widened his grin and jabbed his fists in the air twice.
