Hideki Matsuyama
Major trailblazer
Hideki Matsuyama became the first Japanese male to win a Major Championship with his one-stroke victory over Will Zalatoris at Augusta National. Matsuyama, playing with the weight of a nation on his shoulders, capitalised on the softer conditions after Saturday’s rain delay to fire a superb back-nine 30. On Sunday, a nervy first tee shot was followed by some imperious ball-striking as he fended off the chasing pack, made history and sent his homeland into raptures.
