                          THE MASTERS 2021 OMS

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, during the first week of April, the world's 
top golfers are invited to my hometown of Augusta, Georgia, as they 
compete in the most prestigious tournament in the world known as The 
Masters. As people from around the world visit the Augusta National 
Golf Club or tune in from the comfort of their homes, they get to 
experience a tradition unlike any other.
  After the 2020 Masters Tournament was postponed to the fall with no 
spectators due to the pandemic, there was a lot of excitement to be 
back this year--even at limited capacity.

[[Page H1849]]

  Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman Ridley and members of Augusta 
National for putting on a safe and memorable tournament this year.
  And I want to extend my personal congratulations to the 2021 Masters 
Champion, Hideki Matsuyama. He is the first-ever Japanese professional 
golfer to win a men's major golf championship, and he has made his 
nation of Japan very proud.
  Hideki is an inspiration to young golfers around the world, showing 
that you can reach the pinnacle of your profession through dedication 
and hard work.
