Tiger Woods left in awe as \”truly special\” performance wins Genesis Invitational

The Genesis Invitational saw Tiger Woods withdraw after 24 holes but the 15-time major winner has praised winner Hideki Matsuyama after he staged a \”special\” comeback

 

Tiger Woods has praised Genesis Invitational winner Hideki Matsuyama for a \”truly special\” performance, carding an incredible nine-under 62 – one shot shy of the course record.

The remarkable comeback saw Matsuyama finish three shots ahead of second-place Will Zalatoris. Woods was due to play the tournament but the 15-time major winner was forced to pull due to illness on Friday, just six holes into his second round.

Woods, the tournament host, would have usually been present to hand the trophy over to the winner but his absence left Matsuyama disappointed. \”To win in this tournament was one of my goals ever since I became pro,\” Matsuyama said.

\”After Tiger being the host, that goal became a lot more bigger. A little disappointed that I wasn\’t able to take a picture with Tiger today.\”

 

Woods has sent Matsuyama a personal message, though,
