Who is Hideki Matsuyama?
Born in February 1992, Matsuyama began a life-long love with golf at the tender age of four, thanks to his father. However, his skills really blossomed during his time at boarding school and university. In 2010, he became the first Japanese amateur at Augusta National after a win at the Asian Amateur championship. At the 2011 Masters, he snagged the Silver Cup, awarded to the lowest scoring amateur.
