One month to the day since he won the Masters, Hideki Matsuyama faced the media again at the AT&T Byron Nelson as he prepared to make his long-awaited return to competition.
Following his momentous victory at Augusta National, Matsuyama boarded a flight back to Japan and had to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival.
