Forced to take his stance in the water, Matsuyama punches his awkward second shot from 130 yards out, and nearly holes out for eagle. He then drains the ensuing 9-foot putt for birdie.<\/p>\n<p>SUBSCRIBE to PGA TOUR now: http:\/\/pgat.us\/vBxcZSh<\/p>\n<p>The PGA TOUR\u2019s Florida swing continues as Arnold Palmer\u2019s Bay Hill Club &#038; Lodge hosts the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.
