Warriors’ Steph Curry reacts to Hideki Matsuyama’s major win at the Masters
On Sunday afternoon, history was made in Augusta, Georgia.
After recording a 1-over 73 on the final day of the tournament to finish 10 under at the illustrious Masters, Hideki Matsuyama became the first Japanese man to win a major golf championship.
Following Matsuyama’s memorable performance at Augusta National Golf Club, the Golden State Warriors point guard chimed in on social media to congratulate the newest member of the renowned green jacket club. Steph Curry applauded Matsuyama’s groundbreaking performance with a message on Twitter.

After Matsuyama donned the green jacket, his caddie Shota Hayafuji took a moment to pay respect to the course at Augusta with a bow. Hayafuji’s powerful nod to end the tournament also got a reaction out of the seven-time NBA All-Star.
