Masters Results 2021: Final Leaderboard and Reaction to Hideki Matsuyama's Win

Hideki Matsuyama made history as the first Japanese man to win a golf major Sunday.

The 29-year-old became the fourth player since 2016 to capture his first major crown at The Masters. Danny Willett, Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia were the others.

Matsuyama did not play a perfect round Sunday, but he did enough to keep the lead he built during Saturday's bogey-free round.

The freshly minted Masters champion finished one shot ahead of Will Zalatoris, who was playing in his first Masters, at 10 under. Xander Schauffele and Jordan Spieth ended up in a tie for third three shots back.
