Language barrier had to be tough .. I’m sure we will get a full statement on his feelings when he’s home

[@silasleeks2324]

Well Tiger acted the same way when he won #82 in Japan. But golf bridges the gap between the language barriers. Can't expect Hideki to give a 30 minute speech in English.

[@RobBiagi]

@@sumsar0125 I think Hideki is just really shy. And if the tables were turned, and a shy English-speaking golfer were winning a huge event in Asia, he might not want to struggle through waiting for translations and the possible embarrassment of not knowing the local language - even after being in that country over 10 years. He might just choke out a “Domo arigato” and hurry back to his English-speaking world. Understandable...

[@sumsar0125]

@@RobBiagi For sure, he said so in the presser after the third round. He doesn't enjoy the media spotlight at all which was clearly visible on Sunday. Great win, great golfer and Japan now has its first, male major champion.

[@redd7188]

At first I thought that if Jordan Spieth had of had a better first round that he would have won it. After watching Matsuyama on the weekend, I see that he was truly the best player this year. He was really the only one who moved on moving day up the leader board like a champion golfer does. He also played smart on Sunday. He stuffed so many approach shots throughout the tournament that it reminded you of Tiger Woods.

[@lechence]

Love how the dude told him to thank the members... haha !

[@clevetidwell]

Agree the masters. leadership should have done a better job of helping him in advance. with what they would like to have heard since he is now a part of the masters elite. Poorly handled.

[@charliebrownatemybro]

@@clevetidwell you can see he was very nervous, no need to put it on the committee, real life is not like your kindergarden.

[@kierz79]

@@clevetidwell they should have to be fair but also he's said a few times now, even in a press conference this week, he doesn't really like speaking in front of people so his speech was never going to be that long

[@clevetidwell]

@@charliebrownatemybro Absolutely should be an embarrassment to the Masters as they forgot to give him the trophy and they even walked away from him after his speech, poorly handled for sure. I have been watching for decades and have attended several and this was the poorest handled one by the chairman and his team ever. Areal embarrassment. Just lucky we had a champion with more class than they have.

[@lukasmihara]

Great champion. What a historic win. I'm really happy for Hideki. Congratulations!

[@pvkoz8698]

Congratulations Hideki Matsuyama! Great win, his touch in the third round was a joy to watch, but given the back story of this man the win is even better. He's also laid the foundation for Japanese players in the future not to mention inspiring young kids to take up the sport. Well done Hideki Matsuyama!

[@johnbruce4003]

What a great Tournament Matsuyama played! I hope it doesn't change him too much. Many golfers win their first Major and try to do too much, and in turn end up doing nothing. Almost shocking that this was his first win in four years! Best of luck to him. The Japanese are very passionate about golf. He did his country proud. He's the first, I have a feeling he wont be the last.

[@justinexplainseverything1554]

I know, I was thinking the same thing, I've seen so many first time major winners in golf, that end up completely disappearing after winning. I think that is what makes guys like Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods so special, those guys were never content with just winning 1 major. I was rooting for Hideki on Sunday, and so happy to see him win, but at the same time, I kinda feel like all of us golf fans have been cheated because of all of Tiger's injuries and personal problems, imagine what golf would be like if Tiger was able to just play golf during his prime years in his mid to late 30's??? Yes, I know Tiger had that nice 2 year run from age 36 to 37, but besides that short period, he was basically absent after age 32-33, and didn't win a major between age 32 and 43.

Many Japanese recognize Hideki as a great golfer who has made mediocre performance that has palyed primarily in the US, since he had struggled to win a tournament for years. I believe this historic achievement will remind us of how a top-of-top player he actually is. Who could imagine a Japanese golf player has been celebrated at Augusta two weeks in a row. Nothing but magnificent!

[@Ghettosixteen]

Congratulations, as well, to the Members of Augusta National who had the foresight to create an exemption for the Asia/Pacific Amateur Champion. Hideki's win might not have come this soon, or if all, had it not been for them looking ahead and trying to grow the game in this way. Also, I wish the PGA of America would learn from the Members of Augusta how to conduct a championship, especially the live streaming of it.
