I was kind of rooting for Matsuyama, not only because it’s a great personal achievement but I thought it was great to see the first Asian and First Japanese in history win a Golf Major Championship.....

It’s such a historic thing for Japan that the PM issued a glowing statement about how great it was for Japan and the game of golf....

After it was over, I thought it was a great gesture by Matsuyama’s caddie who when putting the flag stick back in the hole on 18, stopped faced the course, removed his hat and bowed....paying respect to Augusta National....

FYI....Tiger woods is Asian.

Please. This is neither “great for Japan “or great for golf “

This guy will be forgotten after next year’s tournament

...removed his hat and bowed....paying respect to Augusta National.

Saw it and it was a class act.
From what I gather, Matsuyama is a very nice young man...all the other players like him a lot.
I still root for Jordan Spieth to win!
It was great golf to watch.

He was also seen in the airport carrying the green sport coat over his arm as he walked thru the concourse like it was an extra jacket.............LOL!

I thought that Tiger Woods was part Japanese.

I could have cared less he was Japanese....I only wanted to see a good Masters and a good final round.

I look forward to the day when we stop saying first this or first that.

And yes, it was a nice gesture.

Vijay Singh is the first Asian to win a golf major championship (2 PGAs and one Masters).
