Hideki Matsuyama fired a course-record 9-under 61 in Sunday’s final round at Firestone Country Club to win the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, his third title of the PGA Tour season.
The 25-year-old went bogey-free on his final 18, which included an eagle, and seven birdies, highlighted by three straight to close (16, 17, and 18).
The win earned the Japanese superstar $1,660,000 and 550 FedEx Cup points. The points haul moves Matsuyama into the top spot in the standings, knocking Jordan Spieth back to No. 2.
With his third win, he is now tied with Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas for season’s most.
