Hideki Matsuyama Wins FedEx St. Jude Championship

Hideki Matsuyama won the FedEx St. Jude Championship, marking his 10th PGA Tour victory, despite a challenging final round and the absence of his regular caddie due to a robbery incident in London. Playing with stand-in caddie Taiga Tabuchi, Matsuyama overcame a five-shot lead loss on Sunday, securing victory with crucial birdies on the 17th and 18th holes. He finished two strokes ahead of Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele, with Scottie Scheffler in fourth place. The robbery left Matsuyama's coach and usual caddie without their passports, forcing them to return to Japan. The win qualifies Matsuyama for the next round of the PGA Tour playoffs and the 2025 signature events. Matsuyama reflected on the synergy with his temporary caddie, likening it to his initial days with his usual caddie.
