Amid the Nail-Biting $20 Million US Open Bout, Hideki Matsuyama’s Unconventional Moment Provides a Hilarious Distraction

Hideki Matsuyama, the Japanese golfing sensation who won the 2021 Masters, brings a relaxed and light-hearted approach to this year’s US Open at the Los Angeles Country Club North Course. Known for his stoic demeanor, Matsuyama’s display of his humorous side at the event has caught the attention of fans. On day two of the tournament, he unexpectedly turned to the rough, and was spotted relieving himself in the woods much to the amusement of everyone.

 Matsuyama’s quirky moment on the course

Matsuyama provided a comical interlude, one has to say. On the move with his group, he unexpectedly stopped and turned back, venturing into the nearby woods. Cameras continued to capture the moment as Matsuyama relieved himself. This provided the gallery with a light-hearted laugh. The footage quickly gained traction on social media.

Light moments aside, Matsuyama’s past performances in the US Open are worth looking at. With three top-10 finishes (fourth in 2022 and tied second in 2017), he is a major force to reckon with in this tournament. Additionally, since 2013 he has made the cut 10 times in his 11 starts in the tournament.

In terms of finishing in the top-10, Matsuyama may not have done well so far but looking at his past record, his campaign is far from over. There is still plenty of time left for him to change his fortunes.

Matsuyama’s performance at the ongoing US Open

The LACC is hosting its first-ever major and Matsuyama shot a disappointing 2-over 72 in the first round. However, in the second round, he improved his game and shot a 69. After a total score of one-over par across two days, he was tied 39th and successfully made the cut. Clearly, he has to do a lot over the next two days to find himself in a respectable position.
