Hideki Matsuyama hits his shot on the 10th fairway during the first round of the 2020 edition of The Players Championship golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass ― Stadium Course, March 12, 2020. ― Reuters picKUALA LUMPUR, March 10 — Hideki Matsuyama would give anything to turn back the clock.
But Matsuyama will still get his chance again at this week’s US$15 million star-studded event, which continues to deliver the Tour’s golden standard in sports and entertainment, as well as showcase the strongest field in golf at the iconic Stadium Course. “I enjoyed back-to-back top 10s but played very poorly at the Arnold Palmer , so I wasn’t sure what to expect at the Players and ended up playing very well in the first round. I recall putting in a new putter that week as I had been switching around to different putters and the putter I had worked very well. I was making little adjustments to my putting stroke and I was really hoping to maintain my form.
“It means a lot each time I get to play. Obviously with The Players, if you don’t make the top-125 in the FedExCup points list, you don’t get in. It shows how consistent I’ve been and it’s a goal of mine to one day become The Players champion. It is on my list of tournaments I hope to win one day and if that’s something I’m able to accomplish, I’ll be extremely happy,” said Matsuyama, whose best result this season was a runner-up finish at the Houston Open.
