Jason Day won eight skins totaling $210,000 to claim the Japan Skins competition on Monday.

Day birdied the final hole to add $100,000 to his earnings. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy both collected $60,000, while Hideki Matsuyama finished last with $20,000.

After the entire group started Monday's round slowly, Tiger found himself in the lead through nine holes with five skins worth $60,000. Day was in second at $30,000, while McIlroy and Matsuyama had yet to get on the board.

McIlroy finally broke through with a birdie on No. 12 to give him a share of the lead with Woods. They were deadlocked until Day snagged $80,000 with a par on No. 17.

Day then ran away with the competition thanks to a $100,000 birdie under the lights on the 18th.

The Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club will now get ready to host the inaugural Zozo Championship beginning Oct. 24.
