Hideki Matsuyama, who won the Masters Tournament, a major overseas golf tournament for men last year, and is aiming for the second consecutive victory, made the final adjustments on the 6th before the opening of this tournament.
Matsuyama won the Masters Tournament, an overseas major tournament held at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA for the first time last year, and became the first Japanese male player to win an overseas major.
Before the start of this year's tournament, Matsuyama practiced the day before at the venue on the 6th, and made the final adjustments before the tournament aiming for consecutive championships while checking the feel of the tee shot and the approach around the green. ..
Matsuyama is worried about the condition of his neck, which is in pain, but he showed a swing that did not make him feel pain in the practice the day before.
There was also a scene where I practiced with Mike Weir of Canada, who won this tournament in 2003, and exchanged words with a smile on the 8th hole.
Matsuyama is scheduled to start the first round at 11:45 pm on the 7th of Japan time.
In addition to Matsuyama, Takumi Kanaya and amateur Keita Nakajima from Japan will also participate in the tournament.
In addition, American Tiger Woods, who has won five wins in this tournament in the past, has indicated his intention to participate in the tour tournament for the first time after the car accident in February last year, and the trend is also attracting attention. ..
