Collin Morikawa a double major winner and looking for more
In a year of firsts in the majors, Collin Morikawa might have topped them all.
His performance over four days at the British Open was unlike anything seen at Royal St. George's, even in such ideal weather for the English coast.
In his first real test of links golf, Morikawa didn't make a bogey over his final 31 holes, blowing past mistake-prone Louis Oosthuizen and never flinching as Jordan Spieth made one last charge late Sunday afternoon.
Morikawa made three straight birdies at the turn to build a four-shot lead. He made a 20-foot birdie on the 14th when Spieth had closed to within one. He saved par with a 10-foot putt on the next hole for breathing room.
He played with the confidence of a major champion, which he is from his ฟรีเครดิต PGA Championship title last year. He showed the experience of a veteran. That part is up for debate.
