Hideki Matsuyama will enter Monday’s Challenge: Japan Skins on a high note.
Matsuyama, who will tee it up in the exhibition at Narashino Country Club in Chiba alongside Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day, closed in 7-under 65 Sunday to tie for third at the CJ Cup. He made seven birdies as part of his bogey-free final round at Nine Bridges, including three in his last four holes.
The world No. 31 will also compete in Japan’s inaugural PGA Tour event, the Zozo Championship, which begins Thursday.
“I’m really looking forward to next week,” Matsuyama said.
