Hideki Matsuyama Aiming For Another Green Jacket At Augusta
3 days agoHideki Matsuyama missed the cut at the Valero Texas Open, marking his second straight event where he failed to qualify for the weekend. He'll look to regain his form at The Masters, where he has made 10 straight cuts with eight top-20 finishes, including a win in 2021. During that victory, Matsuyama gained nearly 12 strokes from tee to green, a formula he will need to replicate if he aims to win another green jacket. He's been outstanding in this area, gaining 1.118 strokes from tee to green, the 11th-best mark on tour. He also continues to excel with his short game, ranking third in strokes gained around the green (0.625 per round). While his putting has been inconsistent recently, he still ranks 82nd in strokes gained putting, gaining 0.090 strokes per round. Additionally, he ranks in the 97th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the past 12 months, a crucial range that accounted for 37.8% of approach shots at Augusta last year. At $9,500 on DraftKings, Matsuyama is a strong play for fantasy managers.
