Third in SG: OTT at Valero Matsuyama closed with a two-under 70 on Sunday at the Valero Texas Open to finish nine-under and tied for 21st.

Impact Matsuyama recorded four consecutive rounds of 70 or better at TPC San Antonio, where he ultimately ranked third among the field in SG: Off-the-Tee and ninth in SG: Approach en route to 15 total birdies and an eagle across 72 holes. However, he lost a season-worst three strokes around the green while also converting just one of four sand save opportunities. Matsuyama will be in attendance again this week for the Masters where he won a green jacket back in 2021.

Climbs leaderboard Sunday Matsuyama fired a final round five-under 67 at THE PLAYERS Championship to finish tied for 27th place.

Impact Although Matsuyama was never in contention, that didn't prevent him from posting the lowest round Sunday with six birdies and only one bogey at the difficult venue. He ranked second in the final round in SG: Putting and ranked in the top-20 in birdies made and GIR for the tournament. Following a strong start to the year, the T27 finish is Matsuyama's best result across his last three events.

T41 at Bay Hill Matsuyama carded an even-par 72 on Sunday in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational to finish tied for 41st.

Impact Matsuyama struggled to score at the difficult Bay Hill, which is surprising for 12th best player in the world. After beginning the week with a solid two-under 70, in a round that saw him gain 1.81 strokes on the field, Matsuyama wasn't able to build anything after that. Matsuyama particularly struggled with his ball striking Friday, Saturday and Sunday as he lost 0.39 strokes in SG: Approach for the week, which contributed to him failing to break par those three days. Matsuyama will look to turn it around next week as he tees it up at The Players Championship, where he has found success in the past.

T28 at Riviera Matsuyama carded a three-under 68 on Sunday at The Genesis Invitational to finish six-under and tied for 28th.

Impact Matsuyama hit only 10 greens in regulation during Sunday's final round at Riviera, but he converted seven of eight scrambling opportunities to salvage a top-30 result. However, he finished the Signature Event ranked just 41st of 51 in SG: Approach and 49th in total feet of putts made, ultimately losing strokes with his irons for the first time since the TOUR Championship last August. He'll likely tee it up next at the Arnold Palmer Invitational where he placed T22-T12 the past two years.

T8 finish at Pebble Beach Matsuyama closed with a three-under 69 on Sunday to finish in a tie for eighth place at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Impact Matsuyama did not show many signs of a hangover after he let last week's WM Phoenix Open get away from him on the last couple holes. He began the week with three straight rounds of 67 before his 69 on Sunday. Matsuyama once again really struggled off the tee where he lost over 1.8 strokes to the field, which ranked 62nd, but he was ninth in SG: Around-the-Green and eighth in SG: Putting. It is good to see Matsuyama feel confident on the greens, but if he can't get it figured out with the driver it is going to be hard to close out golf tournaments. He will have some added confidence going into next week's Genesis Invitational as the defending winner from the last time it was held at Riviera in 2024.
