AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Hideki Matsuyama fell just short of becoming the best Japanese finisher ever at the Masters when he placed fifth on Sunday.

Buoyed by an eagle at the par-five 13th, Matsuyama matched the best final-round score of 66 to surge up the leaderboard and become, like winner Jordan Spieth, a exciting young talent who made his mark at Augusta National.
