It has been a happy year to remember for Asian golf after standout performances and historic achievements by the game’s best from the Far East as they continue to stamp their mark on the globe’s elite playground, the PGA Tour.
Let’s take an end-of-year detour now and tip our caps to the moments that we’ve almost already forgotten, giving them one last moment in the sun before the calendar flips and they become even more distant in time’s rearview.
The United States Presidents Cup squad has its frontline in place for next month at Quail Hollow Club. The International team, well, it’s a different story.
They say seeing is believing, but whoever “they” is who said that didn’t “see” Hideki Matsuyama pull off the early contender for 2022’s shot of the year.
The narrative predictably fades with time, and though we’re only six months removed from Hideki Matsyama’s historic win in the Masters, it’s probably already forgotten that the Japanese star was on the precipice of a monumental collapse at Augusta National.
