LAST YEAR

Hideki Matsuyama became the first Masters champion from Japan with his one-shot victory over Will Zalatoris. Staked to a four-shot lead at the start of the final round, he widened his lead to six shots. Xander Schauffele narrowed the gap to two shots until hitting into the water on the 16th hole. Matsuyama’s victory came 10 years after he was low amateur, having earned his spot at Augusta National by winning the Asia-pacific Amateur. The most poignant moment was his caddie replacing the pin at No. 18, removing his cap and bowing to the course.

SAUDI TALES

The distraction and disruption of a Saudi-funded rival league has dominated headlines this spring. The top 10 players in the world have said they are sticking with the PGA Tour. Greg Norman then announced an eight-tournament schedule with $20 million purses.
