Japanese newspaper publishes 72-HOLE graphic on Hideki Matsuyama Masters win
Golf fans absolutely loved what this Japanese newspaper printed to celebrate Hideki Matsuyama's epic Masters victory.
A newspaper in Japan printed a 72-hole graphic detailing every single shot played by Hideki Matsuyama en route to his win at The Masters and golf fans are absolutely loving it.
The lines aren't exactly the clearest and if we're being critical, on some holes it looks like Matsuyama made a few aces on par-4's, but to show off every single hole the Japanese star played across all four days goes to show how proud the nation is of their new hero.
The graphic went viral on Twitter when Gabby Herzig - an intern at Golf Digest - posted a picture of the newspaper on Tuesday.
