What golf clubs does Hideki Matsuyama use?
Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, the first male Japanese golfer to win a Major with his victory at the 2021 Masters, produced a moment of magic to win the 2022 Sony Open, his eighth PGA Tour Victory.
The 29-year-old was five shots behind Russell Henley entering the back nine at Waialae Country Club but reeled the American’s lead in to force a play-off, where a walk-off eagle at the first hole secured the win.

It was a fine time to produce the shot of the tournament, Matsuyama hitting a tee shot with his TaylorMade SIM2 fairway wood to three-feet to secure a victory that had seemed impossible just a few hours earlier.
