Hideki Matsuyama is the latest to wear the green jacket, winning the Masters with a score of 10 under par at Augusta National on Sunday.
Matsuyama, who held a four-stroke lead entering the final round after climbing past Justin Rose on Saturday, is the first Japanese player to win a men's major championship and the first winner of the Masters to be born in Asia.
Claire HannaCommentators at @TheMasters mentioned two Japanese women have won golf majors, but neglected to mention who & when. So here’s that info: Hisako Higuchi won 1977 LPGA championship Hinako Shibuno won 2019 British Open.
