We felt we had the ideal timing for our knee surgery, and now we bring you another edition of The Grind. Tiger Woods is playing on a Friday morning, leading up to an extended weekend? I was so happy to just lie in bed and do nothing. And after that, you know. Woods was being taken off the golf course almost as soon as I settled in comfortably.
Hideki Matsuyama: This man is just amazing to see when he’s on. The Sunday 61 he shot at Firestone in 2017 to win the WGC-Bridgestone was similar to his final round 62, the lowest score ever shot by a winner at Riviera. With this victory at the WGC-Genesis Genesis Invitational, the 31-year-old has now won nine PGA Tour titles, including a green jacket, and has surpassed K.J. Choi to become the most successful Asian player on the circuit.
Additionally, he put an end to the absurd six-game winning streak that individuals with odds of at least 100-to-1 had on the circuit. And even though it started Sunday six shots back, it didn’t end up being close. The most noteworthy portion was a 10-minute segment during which he made consecutive putts to tap-in range on holes 15 and 16, which are not simple holes, by the way!
