Matsuyama’s first PGA Tour win made him the youngest player to win the Memorial.
He joined a list of Japanese champions on PGA Tour, after Shigeki Maruyama (three wins), Isao Aoki and Ryuji Imada.
“To win my first PGA Tour event is enough, but to win it here at Mr. Nicklaus’ course, it really gives me a lot of confidence now going on, and hopefully I’ll be able to use this week as a stepping stone to further my career,” the young star said.
