Golf amateur put relief efforts to the victims in Sendai

In my opinion, the golfers at Masters, all of them would like to bring some joy to earthquake victims in Japan and because of the kindness of the human being .so with the help of the kind people in the world, I think Japan will overcome this destructive Youth Golf Movement In Masters disaster and have a bright future. I believe.The 19-year-old amateur will return Monday to Sendai and join relief efforts in the city that took the brunt of the March 11 earthquake and the tsunami that followed. Matsuyama is a student at Sendai's Tohoku Fukushi University. "I think that it will be kind of a refreshing experience for me just away from golf and just to do something different," Matsuyama said through an interpreter. Matsuyama earned his spot at the Masters by winning the Asian Amateur last October. He was practicing in Australia when the quake hit and, after seeing the devastation in his city, debated whether he should even come to the Masters. But he decided playing well here was the best way he could help.

He was the only amateur to make the cut, and his 68 Saturday was the lowest by an amateur since James Driscoll's in the first round in 2001. Matsuyama shot a 74 on Sunday, but a birdie on 18 put him at 1-under for the tournament. His 287 was the lowest score by an amateur since Ryan Moore finished with the same total in 2005. "There are some hard times right now in Japan, and hopefully my play was able to bring some encouragement to those who are in need right now," he said. Being at Augusta National was a welcome diversion for the teenager, and he'll carry the memories with him when he returns to the destruction and devastation in Sendai.
