› CHIBA, Japan — Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama had three birdies in five holes on the back nine and eagled the 18th for good measure and a five-stroke victory at the Zozo Championship on Sunday. It was the 29-year-old’s seventh PGA Tour win but first in his native Japan, although he’s only had one previous attempt. In 2019, Tiger Woods won the inaugural Zozo Championship, the first PGA Tour event in Japan, and last year the tournament was moved to California due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Matsuyama closed with a 65 to finish at 15-under 265 at Narashino Country Club. A pair of Americans shared second as Brendan Steele closed with a 66 and Cameron Tringale shot a 69. Baylor School graduate Luke List (67) tied for seventh at 5 under.

› RICHMOND, Va. — Bernhard Langer became the oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history, beating Doug Barron with a six-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff in the Dominion Energy Charity Classic on Sunday. Langer thrust both arms in the air after winning for the 42nd time on the 50-and-older tour but first time since March 2020. At 64 years, 1 month, 27 days, the German senior star broke the record of 63 years, 5 months, 4 days set by Scott Hoch when he teamed with Tom Pernice Jr. to win the 2019 Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf.
