Cal alum Morikawa in 14th place at U.S. Open with the leaders still on the course
Collin Morikawa failed to maintain the momentum he had built on Saturday, shooting 2-over-par 72 in the final round of the U.S. Open on Sunday, leaving him tied for 14th.
Morikawa came into the U.S. Open holding the United States’ fourth and final berth in the Olympics based on his No. 7 world ranking. However, Patrick Cantlay still has a chance to jump past Morikawa for that final U.S. spot depending on how he finishes the last few holes Sunday. Cantlay, ranked No. 9 entering the week, was at 5-under for the tournament through 15 holes when Morikawa finished his fourth round.
But Morikawa took himself out of contention on the front nine on Sunday. He bogeyed four of the first nine holes with only one birdie in that span. That left him at 3-over for the day and 3-over for the tournament, nine strokes off the lead.
