(Reuters) - Shugo Imahira has accepted a special invitation to compete in this year's U.S. Masters after a brilliant season in which he was the Japan Tour's top money leader.

The 26-year-old Japanese collected 14 top-10 finishes last year on Japan Golf tour and in October won his second career title at the Bridgestone Open where he birdied the final three holes to win by one shot.
