Collin Morikawa says he 'believes in what I can do' as he goes into Sunday's final round of the Masters one shot behind world number one Scottie Scheffler.
Collin Morikawa says chasing world number one Scottie Scheffler in Sunday's final round of the Masters at Augusta National "doesn't scare" him.
He backed that up by taking The Open at Royal St George's in 2021 but has only won once on the PGA Tour since. "It's been a struggle the past few years," Morikawa said. "I had to search and I had to find something. It hasn't been fun but it's been fun to learn about the game and about myself."But it doesn't scare me. I still know my best and what I truly believe I can do."
However, he let out an uncharacteristic roar of triumph after sinking an eagle putt from 31 feet on the 13th and birdied the final hole to ensure he took the outright lead into Sunday."You saw a bit of emotion there from me because it was an important time in the tournament," he said. "It was nice to be able to steal a couple of shots back.
The 24-year-old said he had been taking "calculated risks" but was being "disciplined towards targets" as he plotted his way round.
