The Mastersin hallitseva mestari ajaa sunnuntaina takaa uniongelmista kärsivää Russell Henleya, ja tavoittelee kolmatta voittoon yhdeksän kuukauden aikana.
Japanin Hideki Matsuyama (-16) oli Honolulussa pelattavan Sony Hawaiian Openin kolmannen päivän tähti tuloksellaan 63,-7.
Hän nousi kahden lyönnin päähän jo perjantaina johtoon siirtyneestä Russell Henleysta(-18). Matsuyaman ase oli tehokas puttipeli.
Hän upotti päivän aikana yhteensä yli 36 metrin matkalta, keskimäärin siis kahden metrin päästä ja sai Strokes Gained -tilastossa vakuuttavan luvun, +3,83 nimensä perään.
”Olin viheriöillä jopa onnekas, epäonnistuneetkin putit menivät sisään”, Matsuyama analysoi tekemisiään.
Japanilainen nousi etenkin launtain puttishown aikana yleisön suosikiksi.
The perfect flop shot.

”Se auttaa melkoisesti. Aina kun kentän laidalla on paljon yleisöä, tuo lisämotivaatiota peliin.”
Helmikuussa 30 vuotta täyttävä Matsuyama nousi kovalla vauhdilla maailman huippupelaajien joukkoon 2010-luvun puolivälissä. Voittoja kertyi lyhyessä ajassa 14, näistä viisi PGA Tourilla.
Ote voittamiseen hiipui varsin yllättäen kauden 2017 alkuvaiheissa saavuttamiensa kahden ykköstilan jälkeen.
Maailmanlistalla yllättävästi toiseksi noussut japanilainen taivalsi yli neljä vuotta ilman ykköstilaa, kunnes 2021 hän voitti ensimmäisenä aasialaispelaajana The Mastersin.
Olympialaisissa japanilaiset odottivat supersuosikiltaan kultamitalia, sijoitus oli uusinnan jälkeen neljäs. Matsuyama loisti japanilaisten riemuksi syksyllä voittamalla kotimaassaan toista kertaa pelatun PGA Tourin kisan, ZOZO Championshipin.
Sunnuntaina hänellä on mahdolllisuus saavuttaa kolmas voitto yhdeksän kuukauden aikana, joka nostaisi hallitsevan mestarin entistä perustellummin suosikkien joukkoon huhtikuun The Mastersissa.

Matsuyaman edellä oleva Russell Henley lukeutuu PGA Tourilla sarjaan ”menestyvät pelaajat, joille ykköstilan saavuttaminen on vaikeaa.
Voittoja on kolme, joista viimeisin kaudelta 2017.
Johdettuaan PGA Tourilla 54 reiän jälkeen kisaaa kuudesti, näistä tilanteista hän on onnistunut voittamaan vain kerran
Elämänsä suurin mahdollisuus nousta isoihin otsikoihin avautui edellisvuoden US Openissa. Henley johti ennen sunnuntaita, mutta putosi 13:ksi
Kärkipaikan pitäminen voi mennä useilla pelaajilla tunteisiin jo kierrosta edeltävänä yönä. Tämän myönsi oma-aloitteisesti mediatilaisuudessa myös Henley.
”Olen johtanut muutamaan otteeseen viimeisten vuosien aikana ennen finaalikierrosta. Se on kovaa, unen saaminen ottaa minulla koville. En ole kaikkein parhaita nukkujia.”
Viimeisen 15 kuukauden aikana Russell Henley on menettänyt kolmasti vastaavasta paikasta johtonsa, joten sunnuntai tulee olemaan hänelle entistäkin haasteellisempi miehuuskoe.
