AUGUSTA, Ga. – Hideki Matsuyama was 5-under par and two strokes off the lead Saturday when the third round of the Masters was interrupted by an hour-and-18 minute weather delay. Looking for a way to fill the time, he went to his car in the parking lot, pulled out his cell phone and started playing video games.

From now on, all golfers everywhere should wait out a rain delay in their cars, on their cell phones, playing games. That’s because when Masters play resumed, Matsuyama rampaged through his final eight holes in a stunning six-under par, including four birdies and an eagle, to jump into a startling four-shot lead heading into Sunday’s final round.

“Maybe I wouldn’t have believed it,” he said later through an interpreter, and that made all the sense in the world. Who would have? He had just hit his worst shot of the week, he said later – a wayward drive into the trees far right of the 11th fairway – yet when he came back after chilling in his car, he found an opening to the green with his approach and sank a 19-foot birdie putt to go to 6-under par.
