The Cal alum, who wound up 1 stroke back of Scottie Scheffler, is positioned to land the fourth and final U.S. team roster spot for the Paris Games
Cal alum Collin Morikawa improved his chances of landing a spot on the U.S. Olympic team this summer after claiming second place and $2.2 million prize money at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio on Sunday.
Scheffler carded a final-round 74 to finish at 8-under par. Morikawa, who began the day four strokes back and part of a three-way tie for second, wound up one stroke back at minus-7. Morikawa slipped to No. 20 in the world rankings early in the year but since then has tied for third at the Masters and tied for fourth at the PGA Championship. He also was fourth at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Scheffler, after shooting 9 under par through two days, had three bogeys and just a single birdie in the final round but never surrendered the lead and clinch victory by making a 5-foot putt on 18. He pocketed his fifth win of the season with his wife and newborn son Bennett on hand.
