Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa has contentious conversation with reporter: 'Don't put me down'
Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa had a contentious conversation with a reporter during a press conference prior to the Rocket Classic on Wednesday. Morikawa, 28, took issue with a quote that Golfweek reporter Adam Schupak put in his story about Morikawa's recent caddie change. Schupak wrote a story covering Morikawa's caddie change, and said it was unclear who Morikawa would have as his caddie permanently going forward. Schupak included this quote from Morikawa in the story. "Ask me anything you want in my press conference later. I'm with my pro-am partners now," was the quote Schupak used from Morikawa in his story. When Schupak asked Morikawa at the press conference about who will caddie for him at the British Open, the golfer used the question to take issue with Schupak's use of his quote in the story. "I don't. And I read your article that you wrote. Look, I'm not here to tell people how to do their jobs, but I don't get why you would make me sound bad because you put out my quote that I was playing with pro-am partners out front," Morikawa said. "Those guys are paying a lot of money, they're very important to the community, they're very important to the Rocket Classic, and for you to put out a quote like that to put me down and saying, 'Hey, wait two and a half hours.' I mean, you called me up on the first tee, you know?" "I'm not going to tell you how to do your job; you can write whatever you want. This is America. But don't put me down like that because it's two and a half hours, Adam." Schupak said he thought he was giving Morikawa credit because he noted that Morikawa was focused on his pro-am partners. However, Morikawa told Schupak that that's not how he read it. "OK, we can all read it very differently. That's not how I read it," Morikawa said. "But I'm just telling you, I think there's a perspective where people can read it like that. So, I'm just going to leave it at that. We knew I was going to have media in two and a half hours. I'm on the first tee meeting my pro-am partners as they're teeing off." After Morikawa commented at the press conference, Schupak deleted Morikawa's original quote and updated the story with a new quote. It is not the first time Morikawa has ruffled feathers with the media this season, as his comments at The Masters made waves. Morikawa is currently tied for 35th at the Rocket Classic at the Detroit Golf Club as three-under par for the day. At the time of this writing, Min Woo Lee was leading the tournament after he shot nine-under par in the first round.

Former Spartan golfer making history on the PGA Tour at the Rocket Classic
Former Michigan State golfer James Piot has made a return to the PGA Tour, playing in his hometown event at the Rocket Classic in Detroit at the Detroit Golf Club this weekend. With his return to the tour, he is also making history. After winning the US Amateur championship, Piot began his pro career, but instead of beginning it within in the PGA Tour, he chose to go to the LIV Golf Tour. Piot spent two years on the LIV tour, but is now back, looking to make a return to the PGA Tour. Unfortunately, due to his involvement with LIV, Piot was suspended from the PGA Tour. Now, Piot may have found the pathway for LIV golfers returning the PGA Tour. Piot was given a sponsors exemption into the PGA Tour event in Detroit, allowing him to play in the field this week. He is officially the first player from LIV to receive a sponsor's exemption on the PGA Tour, making history between the two tours. It will be very interesting to see where this leads with the ongoing relationship between the PGA Tour and LIV. One thing is for sure, though, a former Spartan is one to make history between the tours.
