La hist\u00f3rica victoria de Hideki Matsuyama en el Torneo de Maestros de 2021 tambi\u00e9n fue un triunfo para toda su patria.
El juego en Jap\u00f3n es venerado por grandes segmentos de la poblaci\u00f3n, y el Masters es admirado all\u00ed m\u00e1s que cualquier otro torneo de golf del planeta. Como resultado, la victoria se celebrar\u00e1 con entusiasmo y el jugador de 29 a\u00f1os que lo hizo posible ser\u00e1 festejado como pocos atletas lo han hecho en ese pa\u00eds.
Eso fue evidente cuando el Masters concluy\u00f3 el domingo por la noche en Augusta, y Jap\u00f3n observ\u00f3 c\u00f3mo la semana comenzaba el lunes por la ma\u00f1ana, 13 horas antes de la hora de verano del este de Augusta.
A primera vista, puede parecer extra\u00f1o que una naci\u00f3n al otro lado del mundo desde el hogar ancestral del deporte est\u00e9 tan enamorada del golf, pero el juego se ha jugado y apreciado en Jap\u00f3n durante m\u00e1s de un siglo. El juego realmente se afianz\u00f3 en la d\u00e9cada de 1960 cuando golfistas estadounidenses como Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer y Jack Nicklaus comenzaron a viajar all\u00ed para competir en torneos y exhibiciones de juegos. Y solo ha crecido en los a\u00f1os siguientes.
Los japoneses comenzaron a tomar conciencia del golf a fines del siglo XIX, despu\u00e9s de que el pa\u00eds aislacionista comenzara a abrirse al mundo exterior, alentando a las empresas de Europa, las Islas Brit\u00e1nicas y los Estados Unidos a establecer operaciones y permitiendo a sus ciudadanos enviar a sus hijos al extranjero para que se eduquen. Esos intercambios encendieron una fascinaci\u00f3n por cosas de Occidente, una de las cuales fue el golf. Cada vez m\u00e1s japoneses desarrollaron un inter\u00e9s en el juego, y eso condujo a una especie de auge en el juego y el desarrollo de campos en Jap\u00f3n en la d\u00e9cada de 1920. La Asociaci\u00f3n de Golf de Jap\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n se estableci\u00f3 durante ese per\u00edodo.
Curiosamente, la pr\u00f3xima d\u00e9cada vio c\u00f3mo se desarrollaba una relaci\u00f3n entre esa naci\u00f3n y Augusta National y el Masters, y eso tambi\u00e9n ayud\u00f3 a que el golf creciera en Jap\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hideki Matsuyama\u2019s historic win in the 2021 Masters Tournament was also a triumph for his entire homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game in Japan is revered by huge segments of the population, and the Masters is admired there more than any other golf tournament on the planet. As a result, the victory will be wildly celebrated and the 29-year-old who made it happen will be feted as few athletes ever have in that country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was evident as the Masters concluded Sunday evening in Augusta, and Japan was watching as the week began Monday morning, 13 hours ahead of Augusta\u2019s Eastern Daylight Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first blush, it may seem strange that a nation halfway around the world from the sport\u2019s ancestral home is so smitten with golf, but the game has been played and appreciated in Japan for more than a century. The game really took hold in the 1960s when American golfers such as Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus started traveling there to compete in tournaments and play exhibitions. And it has only grown in subsequent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese people first started to become aware of golf in the late 1800s, after the very isolationist country started opening up to the outside world, encouraging businesses from Europe, the British Isles and the United States to set up operations, and allowing its citizens to send their children overseas to be educated. Those exchanges kindled a fascination with things from the West, one of which was golf. More and more Japanese developed an interest in the game, and that led to something of a boom in play and course development in Japan in the 1920s. The Japan Golf Association was also established during that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, the next decade saw a relationship develop between that nation and Augusta National and the Masters, and that helped golf grow in Japan, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
