Hideki Matsuyama’s winning WITB: 2022 Sony Open
Hideki Matsuyama leaned on a clutch 3-wood approach shot from 276 yards at the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Russell Henley at the 2022 Sony Open. The Japanese star needed just one playoff hole to vanquish Henley, locking up his eighth PGA Tour win in the process.
Here’s what Matsuyama had in play in Hawaii two years ago.
