Hideki Matsuyama becomes first Japanese player to win the Masters

Hideki Matsuyama has won the 85th Masters, becoming the first male player from Japan to capture one of golf’s major championships.

Matsuyama, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, had seized control of the tournament on Saturday with a bogey-free, 7-under that pushed him to 11-under overall.

He teed off in the final round on Sunday with a three-stroke lead and would not relinquish it, finishing at 10-under to secure the Green Jacket.

This is a developing story. More to come.
