"To win in this tournament was one of my goals" - Hideki Matsuyama on his victory at The Genesis Invitational
Matsuyama shot four rounds of 69, 68, 68 and 62 at The Genesis Invitational 2024 to win the tournament. He finished with a score of under 17, three strokes ahead of Will Zalatoris and Luke List.
He was very impressive in the last round on Sunday. Matsuyama played a bogey-free round with nine birdies in the final round to score 9-under-62 and emerge victorious in the PGA Tour event.
Soon after winning, Hideki Matsuyama opened up about his victory in a press conference on Sunday. He acknowledged that winning the tournament had been his dream since starting his professional journey.
However, he missed an opportunity to get a picture with Tiger Woods, the host of the tournament. Woods, who joined the field for The Genesis Invitational 2024, withdrew from the competition on Friday, February 16.
Speaking about his victory, Matsuyama remarked:
"To win in this tournament was one of my goals ever since I became pro. And after Tiger (Woods) being the host that goal became a lot more bigger. A little disappointed that I wasn't able to take a picture with Tiger today."
