Matsuyama Makes History at The Sentry
The Straits Times
|January 07, 2025
Japan's Hideki Matsuyama knew he had to keep making birdies during the final round of The Sentry.
-
He ended up making history, too.
Matsuyama could not be caught while shooting an eight-under 65 to win The Sentry, the PGA Tour's season opener, on Jan 5 at The Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii.
He finished at 35-under 257, the lowest 72-hole score to par in PGA Tour history. It was good for a three-stroke victory over runner-up Collin Morikawa, who carded a 67.
Matsuyama birdied the final hole, a par-five, to reach 35 under.
Australian Cameron Smith had owned the PGA Tour all-time low tournament record with a 34-under 258 on the same layout in 2022.
"That last putt, it felt like if I make it, then it's going to be the record," Matsuyama said. "So I'm so happy that it went in."

Trump in the spotlight, Asean in the shadows
Mr Trump and Asean operate differently. Ms Susannah Patton, deputy research director at Australian think-tank Lowy Institute, said in a commentary that he is “a leader who emphasises his own unique deal-making genius to reshape international affairs”, while Asean “prioritises consensus and incremental cooperation”. One thrives on command, the other on compromise.
