What a great round by Matsuyama. 18 holes away from being the first ever Japanese major winner.
Yesterday he had crazy luck with a wild drive at the 10th. Ball went deep into the woods, but somehow it hit a tree trunk somewhere and bounced out straight into the middle of the fairway.
But mostly it's just been great shooting. He is a machine. And not nearly as slow as I remember him. When you're in the zone, you don't want to waste time or you'll lose it.

He nailed it out of the weather delay.
He’s always had a solid game, but the final 18 for him with this big of a lead will be a huge test.
If he shoots anything over even par tomorrow I like the field

I was expecting a better showing from the field. Rahm played well but was obviously too far back to start the day. Will Z played well, but doesn’t have the experience yet of a Sunday major.
Congrats to Hideki, he definitely earned it.

Congrats to Hideki, he definitely earned it. He is going to become the mascot of the Tokyo Olympics. And representatives of Honda, Hitachi, Panasonic, Fuji, Nintendo and whatever will harass him with bags full of money and free geishas to get his face on their ads.

He only won by one, but it was never that close

Remember in Barcelona '92 how they had that archer shoot a burning arrow through a ring to ignite the Olympic torch?
I want Matsuyama to hit a burning golf ball to a cauldron in Tokyo. A high 9-iron/PW from one side of the stadium to the other.

one might think giant burning cauldrons of fire would be a little frowned upon in japan...at least in Hiroshima or Nagasaki?

What makes it exciting is the fact that there's always the chance Hideki nervously shanks a fireball into the audience. Or sets the Japanese flag on fire, or something.

Also, if they do go with the burning golf balls idea, they absolutely need to get Jerry Lee Lewis to play at the ceremony. Shooting fireballs into the stands, goodness gracious.
