Hideki Matsuyama survived a nervy ending on Sunday to dramatically win the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Matsuyama had thrown away a five-shot overnight lead on the final day of competition in Tennessee, before recovering his form to win the postseason playoff opener at TPC Southwind. The Japanese star, who secured a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics earlier this month, recorded two birdies in the final two holes to regain the lead and take the win. It required the 32-year-old to sink a 26-foot putt on the 17th, before he kept his composure with two brilliant shots on the final hole. He eventually finished two shots ahead of both Norway’s Viktor Hovland and American Xander Schauffele. “I felt today’s victory slipping away at that point because 17 and 18 are difficult holes enough, let alone to birdie them,” Matsuyama told reporters through an interpreter on Sunday.
