NASSAU, Bahamas -- Hideki Matsuyama ended Saturday on his way to another victory.
Matsuyama, a winner in three of his last four tournaments, holed out for eagle on the front nine and kept his mistakes to a minimum for a 7-under 65 to build a seven-shot lead in the Hero World Challenge.
British Open champion Henrik Stenson (66) and U.S. Open winner Dustin Johnson (72) were the closest players to the Japanese star.
Tiger Woods was even farther back -- 11 shots -- though the opening hour was filled with big excitement and raised expectations.
