As Hideki Matsuyama walked off the range Saturday morning in advance of his third round at Waialae Country Club, fellow Japanese golfer Keita Nakajima noticed something familiar. The 21-year-old Nakajima, the world’s top-ranked amateur, was fresh off making his first PGA Tour cut, but he couldn’t help but admire his idol in vintage form.
“He’s in the zone,” Nakajima said of the reigning Masters champion.
Nakajima was right. Matsuyama began the day at 9 under, six shots off Russell Henley’s lead, but by the time the sun had slipped behind the Pacific Ocean, Matsuyama was within striking distance with one round to play at the Sony Open.
