Hideki Matsuyama stages late comeback to win FedEx St Jude Championship

breakingnews.ie

Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama staged a late fightback after an alarming wobble to claim a two-shot victory on an eventful final day at the FedEx St Jude Championship.

Matsuyama, who took a five-stroke lead into the fourth round at TPC Southwind, looked as though he might throw the title away when, having picked up two birdies as he left the 11th green at 19 under par, he surrendered four shots in as many holes.

Officials spoke to the 32-year-old about a potential infringement over replacing a divot on the green on an earlier hole as the Japanese golfer headed to the 12th tee.
