Hideki Matsuyama extends his lead at the Hero World Challenge with a spectacular eagle from the fairway at the seventh

Hideki Matsuyama produced the shot of the third day at the Hero World Challenge as he holed out from the fairway for a sensational eagle at Albany.

Matsuyama has been in remarkable form in recent weeks, and he was in a class of his own as he stormed to a seven-shot victory at the WGC-HSBC Champions at the end of October.

The world No 6 is enjoying another strong week in the Bahamas, and he opened up a two-shot lead with three birdies over the first six holes before doubling his advantage with one swing of a lob wedge at the seventh.

Matsuyama opted to lay up at the driveable par-four and left himself 86 yards to the pin for his downwind second, but it proved an astute decision as his ball took one big bounce on the front of the green and disappeared into the bottom of the cup on the second hop.
