Matsuyama

Hideki Matsuyama again found himself contending for a green jacket Sunday, but an up-and-down front nine took the air from his Masters Tournament hopes.

Matsuyama shot 1-over-par 73 in the final round to finish tied for seventh at even par.

It marked a second consecutive top-10 finish for the 24-year-old after placing fifth last year. He finished five shots back of the winner this year compared with seven strokes back in 2015.

Matsuyama posted a double bogey and three bogeys on the front nine, with birdies on Nos. 2 and 8. The front-nine 39 left him needing a back-nine charge for a higher finish.

After a birdie on No. 10, he was within three shots as late as the 13th hole. But he spun his wheels with pars the rest of the way while Danny Willett raced to a 5-under finish.
