Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama gives ‘huge boost’ to 10 million golfers – Wide World of Sports
‘Pioneer’ just the tip of the iceberg in Japan
Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama said he’s hopeful that his history-making win will be a huge shot in the arm for the sport in his homeland of Japan.
He needed no interpreter in Butler Cabin when first asked how he felt as Dustin Johnson was about to hand him the green jacket.
“I’m really happy,” he said in English.
Matsuyama became the first Japanese man to win a major, and the first man from any Asian country to win the Masters, bogeying the 18th hole to win by one stroke.
