Hideki Matsuyama, who won the men's golf masters tournament for the first time, said in an independent interview with the American sports channel "ESPN" that he "feels great" and that he wants to win the first major overseas title.
In an interview conducted by ESPN on the 12th, Matsuyama said, "I was very happy that everyone in the audience welcomed me with a standing ovation. I cried a little when I met everyone on the team. It was a great feeling. I looked back on my feelings when I holed out.
Also, when asked if he had been under pressure for a long time when he won the first major overseas championship, he said, "I couldn't win even if the Japanese players tried and regretted it. I expect that I will fight for a long time on the American tour. I knew very much that I was doing it, but I've always wanted to have a few more people who could understand the same feelings, "he said in his heart.
At the end of the final day, when he gradually narrowed the gap, he said, "I thought it would be like match play with Shuffle, who was the final group, and I thought I'd get through 16th. Made an unexpected mistake. So, while thinking about various things, I struck while thinking about what the score of the second-placed player other than Shaffrey was. "
Then, when asked by an interviewer about the green jacket given to the winner, "Tiger Woods said he slept with the jacket on the night he won the championship, what would you do?" So I think I'll put it aside, "he said with a smile, and finished the interview for about seven minutes.
