PGA Tour: Matsuyama Fights Back To Win St Jude Champs; Akshay Bhatia Is Tied-12th

By IANS News August 19, 2024 • 22:44 PM View: 513

Indian American Sahith Theegala: Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama became the first Asian golfer to win a FedExCup Playoffs event with a hard-fought two-stroke victory over Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland at the St. Jude Championship, the first of three Playoffs event, on Sunday.

The 32-year-old Matsuyama surged to his second title of the season and 10th PGA TOUR career victory, thanks to two closing birdies at TPC Southwind in Memphis as he overcame a back-nine wobble which saw his overnight five-shot lead turn into a one-shot deficit after dropping four strokes through holes 12-15.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has won six times this season and was the gold medallist in Paris, finished fourth, three back of Matsuyama, and remained top of the FedExCup points list, with Schauffele trailing in second position.
