Hideki Matsuyama ends his year on a big roll (The Associated Press)

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- It started with a victory at home in the Japan Open. It ended with another trophy in the Bahamas against a short but strong field.

Five tournaments. Four victories.

The way Hideki Matsuyama is playing, he might wish the Masters started next week.

Or maybe not.

''I'm kind of glad it's not,'' he said with a broad smile, ''because I don't think I could win next week.''

Winning must be exhausting for the 24-year-old Japanese star, and no one has been more proficient at it over the last two months.
