LOS ANGELES — Hideki Matsuyama came out of nowhere Sunday.
While the final group struggled for most of the day, and Patrick Cantlay’s two-shot lead quickly disappeared, Matsuyama was locked in.
Matsuyama posted a 9-under 62 in what was a spectacular final round to overtake a crowded leaderboard and win the Genesis Invitational. It marked the Japanese star's first win on the PGA Tour in more than two years, and won him a tournament record $4 million check.
"Matsuyama with a round at Riviera that will long be remembered!"
Hideki is your clubhouse leader at 17-under.
