Hideki Matsuyama will have some ground to make up after the opening round of the Masters, and he can thank one of the flagsticks at Augusta National Golf Club for that.
Matsuyama was playing fairly well in the first round of the Masters on Thursday when he caught a horrendous break. After laying up to a nice spot on the par-5 13th hole, Matsuyama hit what looked like a perfect approach shot. It just happened to a bit too perfect.
Matsuyama’s shot bounced off the flag stick and rolled into the water.
