(Reuters) - Seven has been a magic number for Japan's Hideki Matsuyama in recent weeks and it was no different at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas in Saturday's third round.
The 24-year-old from Ehime spectacularly eagled the par-four seventh when his 80-yard approach took one bounce and landed in the cup on his way to a seven-under 65 at the Albany course on the island of New Providence and a commanding seven-stroke lead.
World number six Matsuyama has been a winner three times in his last four starts worldwide, and on two of those occasions he triumphed by seven strokes to establish himself as the hottest player in the game.
