The memories of Hideki Matsuyama’s incredible performance five years ago still linger. He had started the tournament with a bang, carding a stunning 63 to tie the course record. His impressive score of 9-under-par had set the tone for what promised to be an exciting event. However, little did anyone know that the tournament would take an unexpected turn. The COVID-19 pandemic, which was rapidly spreading globally, led to the PGA Tour canceling the remainder of the event.
Fast-forward to the present, and Matsuyama’s fortunes have taken a drastic turn. He’s currently struggling with a 5-over score, a far cry from his impressive performance five years ago. “Five years ago, Hideki Matsuyama opened with a 63. He’s 5-over today, but on the bright side, at least there’s no global pandemic”, read the tweet by Jason Sobel of SiriusXMPGATOUR.
While it’s understandable that golfers have good and bad days, fans are ripping Matsuyama apart over his scores and are saying some pretty brutal things. The comments section is filled with criticism, with some fans questioning his skills and others expressing disappointment at his lackluster performance. “So hideki matsuyama, just withdraw already you loser. Save yourself some time my god”, said one fan while the other wrote, “Hideki Matsuyama won’t hesitate to pack his sh*t and go home, if he doesn’t make a quality shot soon.”
Another fan echoed the same sentiment as they wrote, “Hideki Matsuyama is almost a garuantee to W/D after his round. That is what he does when he starts off sh**ty.”
