That Collin Morikawa lefty shot | Seen & Heard at the Genesis Scottish Open

Morikawa’s reasoning behind this decision was to capitalize on his left-to-right shot curve and potentially eliminate any trouble spots on the New Zealandis links course. While his unorthodox approach was deemed successful, the left-handed tactic sparked a lot of attention and discussion among golfing fans everywhere.

Collin Morikawa’s Unconventional Club Request Pays Dividends in Scotland

Collin Morikawa’s unorthodox club request proved to be a stroke of genius at the Scottish Open. Despite the skepticism of caddie J.J. Jakovac, Morikawa insisted on adding a 2-iron to his bag for the challenging Renaissance Club course.

The decision initially puzzled the experts. However, as the tournament progressed, Morikawa’s 2-iron became a secret weapon. The club’s versatility and accuracy allowed him to navigate the firm fairways and tight wind conditions with precision.

“I’m not sure I would have won without the 2-iron,” said Morikawa. “It gave me an advantage on the par-5s, and I felt confident taking it off the tee on some of the par-4s.”

Morikawa’s bold choice highlights the importance of adapting to different course conditions and trusting one’s instincts. His victory in Scotland is a testament to his exceptional skills and unwavering belief in his unique approach to the game.

PGA Championship: Morikawa addresses fan support

Collin Morikawa was surprisingly frank about his appreciation for the crowd’s support during the third round of the PGA Championship.
