Open Leader Mishits, Yells at Cameraman, and Faces 20-Minute Ruling

U.S. Open leader Collin Morikawa endured a frustrating day on the greens, mishitting numerous putts and grappling with a challenging ruling. In a moment of frustration, Morikawa directed an angry outburst at a cameraman, further disrupting his round.

The incident occurred during the third round of the tournament as Morikawa attempted a short putt on the eighth green. After missing the shot, he expressed his frustration by yelling at the cameraman, who was positioned nearby. The cameraman swiftly moved away, but the incident cast a shadow over Morikawa’s performance.

Adding to his woes, Morikawa was involved in a lengthy ruling on the 12th hole. After his ball landed in a hazard, he deemed it unplayable and dropped in a designated area. However, officials determined that he had gone too far back, resulting in a two-stroke penalty. The ruling took over 20 minutes to resolve, further disrupting Morikawa’s rhythm.

No water, no problem: Why U.S. Senior Open site is agronomic anomaly

The spotlight is on Minnesota’s mighty Mississippi River at this week’s U.S. Senior Open at the 400-acre Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which will host a USGA championship for the first time since 2009 when Lucas Glover won the U.S. Open there.

Saucon Valley is one of the few courses in the country built on a flood plain. The issues that usually come with building a course so close to water have been almost entirely mitigated by an elaborate drainage system that diverts water away from the course.

“The original design was intentional to keep the water off the course,” said John Zimmers, chairman of the USGA championship committee. “There’s a 25-foot drop-off right over there and there’s a series of pumps and ponds and basins that keep the water from coming onto the course.”
