HIDEKI MATSUYAMA NEWS

Fifth in SG: OTT at WMPO Matsuyama fired a one-under 70 on Sunday at the WM Phoenix Open to finish five-under and tied for 29th at the WM Phoenix Open.

Impact Matsuyama averaged only three birdies per round at TPC Scottsdale as he fell to 62nd in SG: Approach and T64 in GIR percentage. On a more positive note, he ranked fifth among the field in both SG: Off-the-Tee and SG: Around-the-Green to salvage a T29 result. Matsuyama still owns just one top-10 on the season, but he'll tee it up again this week at the Genesis Invitational.

T-48 finish at Sony Open Matsuyama carded a one-over 71 on Sunday at the Sony Open in Hawaii to finish tied for 48th place.

Impact Matsuyama failed to get much momentum going to start the tournament, carding nine birdies and six bogeys over the first two rounds to make the cut by two shots. His worst round of the tournament came Sunday when he made just two birdies, a bogey and a double bogey for his only over-par round of the week. He was in good form with his irons, ranking seventh in strokes-gained approach but lost over five strokes on the greens for the tournament.

Loses ground on Sunday Matsuyama fell into a tie for 21st place following a one-under 72 in the final round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Impact Matsuyama lost 12 positions in the final round as he struggled to get anything working. It was an uncharacteristically poor ball-striking week for the PGA Tour veteran. Matsuyama's first three finishes at Kapalua were all in the top-four, but since then he has gone 41st-T13-T21. Injuries are always a concern with Matsuyama, but when firing on all cylinders he can be as dangerous as anyone. He will be defending his title at next week's Sony Open in Hawaii.
