The two-time major champion is well-positioned for the weekend, reuniting with an instructor who he first worked with at age 8.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Collin Morikawa made a phone call earlier this spring to an old acquaintance. Old as in long-time. Going back to his youth. When the golfer was just 8 years old.
Going through another rough period earlier this year, Morikawa decided it was time to get some thoughts from the guy who had helped him win two major championships. “We've always been the kind of player-coach where it's just more about just being creative and hitting shots. That's what we've kind of gone back to. Just keeping things simple right now and just being able to see our shots, visualize them, things that I've done in the past. Not really trying to reinvent the wheel right now.”
He finished ninth a week later at the RBC Heritage and tied for 16th last week at the Wells Fargo Championship.
