Hideki Matsuyama didn't have his game all together on the front nine.
Luckily, he put together the best nine-hole stretch of anyone Thursday to put himself in the lead at the 2020 BMW Championship. Matsuyama has a one-stroke lead over Tyler Duncan after shooting a three-under 67 in the opening round of the second FedEx Cup tournament.
After making the turn at one over par, Matsuyama shot a 31 over his final nine holes, knocking down a putt from 67 feet out to cap off his round.
