MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Hideki Matsuyama lost his wallet in London and lost his caddie and coach for the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs from thieves who snatched their bag. None of that seemed to bother the Japanese star Thursday to start of the PGA Tour's postseason.
“It was an unfortunate situation,” Matsuyama said. “Luckily, I only lost my wallet, but Shota, my caddie, and the coach, lost their passports, and we’re trying hard now to get their visas back in line. And, hopefully, we can join as a team as soon as possible.” “My job is the same. It’s just play golf,” Matsuyama said. “I talk to my coach every night on the phone. I’ve got a great caddie — Taiga did a great job today. So we’ll just see how it goes.”
Kirk had taken the early lead with a birdie on the 12th when he pulled 6-iron — a perfect club considering a heat index that topped 100 degrees that made the ball go a little bit farther. It landed in front of the pin and rolled in like a putt for an ace. Taylor Pendrith of Canada and Matthieu Pavon of France, both first-time winners on the PGA Tour this year, joined Matsuyama at 65.
Friends in the first place, they grew a little closer through three days of practice rounds and some money games at Le Golf National leading to the Olympics. Schauffele shared the 54-hole lead at the Olympics. Scheffler closed with a 62 and won the gold.
