Hideki Matsuyama Returns To Action
9 months agoHideki Matsuyama, who missed the Cognizant Classic last week, will play in the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week. Matsuyama has been performing exceptionally well in the 2024 season, with three top-25 finishes, including a win in The Genesis Invitational two weeks ago. He has not missed a cut in his six appearances this year. Despite missing the cut last year, Matsuyama has generally performed well in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing T20 in 2022 and T18 in 2021. He can repeat his past success if he continues his strong approach play. In the previous 12 months, Matsuyama ranked in the 81st percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway, which is important to note because over 34% of approach shots came from 150-200 yards in last year's tournament. Matsuyama should be a strong contender for DFS lineups.
