Matsuyama masters Firestone

Red-hot putter points the way to easy triumph

AKRON, Ohio - Hideki Matsuyama was along for the ride four years ago when he watched Tiger Woods tear apart Firestone Country Club on his way to a 61 in the second round, which tied the course record and sent Woods to a seven-shot victory in the Bridgestone Invitational.

"I just couldn't believe that anyone could shoot 61 on this course," Matsuyama said.
