Hideki Matsuyama won the Masters in April 2021, finishing at 10-under par to claim the green jacket and become the first Japanese man to win a major championship. The final-round momentum included a late wobble on the 16th but he held on for a one-shot victory over Xander Schauffele. If you’d like, I can pull up a couple of current headlines or reaction pieces from that event.
