Hideki Matsuyama became the first player ever at the Genesis Invitational to card a 62 in the final round. Here’s his title winning club set-up.
The 2021 Masters champion won his ninth PGA Tour title and made history at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles with an incredible closing round which included nine birdies, overcoming a six-shot deficit to Patrick Cantlay in the process.
The Japanese star ended on 17-under-par for the tournament, three shots clear of runner-ups Will Zalatoris and Luke List. Cantlay finished T4 a further shot back.
The signature event on the PGA Tour was hosted by Tiger Woods who had to withdraw with illness, later revealed to be influenza, when playing the seventh hole of his second round. Woods was making his first start at an official PGA Tour event since The Masters in April 2023.
What’s in the bag
31-year-old Matsuyama is a Srixon staffer but uses a TaylorMade Qi10 3-wood, a Cobra King RadSpeed Tour 5-wood, and a Scotty Cameron Prototype putter.
