Hideki Matsuyama's 66 fires him to 11-under

Four years ago, Hideki Mat­suyama won the Silver Cup as the low amateur at the Mas­ters Tournament. On Sun­day, he left with a top-five finish in his fourth trip to Augusta National.

As the only amateur to make the cut in 2011, Matsuyama’s 1-under tournament easily won hardware. But he never had a Masters like this one, when he shot four under-par rounds, including 6-under 66 on Sunday to tie Rory McIlroy for the best fourth round. The impressive day took him to 11-under for the tournament.

“That was my goal, to shoot in the 60s and finish strong, and I did that,” the 23-year-old from Sendai, Japan,  said through a translator. “But I’m still a long way behind Jordan Spieth. With that said, I have a lot of work to do still.”

On Sunday, Matsuyama picked up his third eagle for the tournament on the par-5 13th. He fired his second shot from the pine straw and onto the green for a 14-foot eagle putt.

Matsuyama also made eagle on No. 2 on Friday and on the eighth hole Saturday.

“I really played well this week. I’m happy with the way I played, so I have no complaints,” Matsuyama said. “It is a dream come true to always play at the Masters here at Augusta National. I’m happy that I played well, but that was a long way back – I didn’t have a chance. So hopefully I’ll have a chance to win some day.”
