Hideki Matsuyama won the FedEx St. Jude – the PGA TOUR’s playoff opener – by two strokes Sunday despite a roller-coaster back nine.
Matsuyama led by as many as five shots in the final round but momentarily fell off the top of the leaderboard after producing a 4-over par stretch from holes 12-15. However, he jarred a 26-footer for birdie on 17 to retake the solo lead.
