Collin Morikawa is crazy like a fox at the Memorial, where he says he 'loves the place'
Collin Morikawa is crazy like a fox at the Memorial, where he says he 'loves the place' DUBLIN, Ohio – Collin Morikawa always has been crazy about Muirfield Village Golf Club. 'This is probably the only golf course where I've stepped foot on it before I actually played and said, like, I love this place, no matter how I play, and it's kind of rare to find that,' he said. Morikawa won here at the 2020 Workday Charity Open and has twice finished second at the Memorial, including last year. On Thursday, he birdied three holes in a four-hole stretch on the front nine and made six birdies in all en route to posting 5-under 67 in the first round, two off the pace set by Ben Griffin. 'I woke up today kind of not knowing how the swing was going to produce. I spent a couple hours on the range after the pro-am yesterday and was just trying to find something,' he explained. 'Yeah, kind of went to some old swing thoughts, and it's hard to filter through that, but did it on the range, and kind of was just able to go play golf. I got to trust myself that I'm playing good enough golf to go out there and win and that's what I did today.' Asked if it was the same swing thought as a week ago, Morikawa shook his head from side to side. 'No, it's more of a swing thought that I had around Bay Hill. Shocker that I didn't stick with it,' he said of the site of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he finished second in March. 'Like I said yesterday, we're crazy. We think one thing's good, so then you just go away from that and try something new. But it's just, honestly it's just posture and making sure my posture's really good from the ground up and allowing my body to just go from there and swing it.' Whatever the case, it worked. Morikawa topped the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green and ranked second in SG: Approach. He birdied both par 5s on the front nine at Nos. 5 and 7 and laced a mid-iron at the downhill, 214-yard par-3 8th to inside 5 feet. On the backside, he drilled a 22-foot birdie putt at No. 10 and sandwiched birdies at Nos. 14 and 16 around his lone bogey of the day, taking three putts from 57 feet. Still, it was a crazy good start, his third-lowest score in 18 career rounds at Jack's Place. By Morikawa's own estimation, he's just flat out crazy, and it didn't take his new caddie, Joe Greiner, long to reach the same conclusion. 'He's already called me crazy a lot. And that's fine. Like, I think golfers are generally crazy. I know I am. I mean, you give me eight weeks off this off-season, you should hear about the amount of things I tried. Just, I mean I had seven different grips, different wraps on my grips, like I was going through it all,' Morikawa said. 'You just give me a little too much time and I just go down rabbit holes.' The 28-year-old Morikawa's game has been better than most. He is ranked fourth in the world but the six-time Tour winner is winless since October 2023. So, the search to get across the finish line continues. 'I'm in a weird spot right now. I feel like I'm really close, but yet sometimes you don't know what you're searching for. I know it's something small and that's the click that I need to just play free,' he said. 'But it's hard to find that.' Could Morikawa end his winless drought at the Memorial this week? Nothing crazy about that at all.

Scottie Scheffler breaks down in tears over chat with wife that inspired win
Scottie Scheffler was visibly moved as he recalled a pivotal conversation with his wife that set him on the path to clinching his first Masters title. The top golfer, fresh from celebrating his third major win with a commanding five-shot victory at Quail Hollow, looked back on the pep talk that propelled him to glory in April 2022. Scheffler, who had ascended to the world number one spot just before heading to Augusta National three years prior, was gearing up to take the lead into the final day of the Masters when the reality hit him that he was on the cusp of securing his first major. He attributed an emotional exchange with his wife, Meredith, as the catalyst for his success and the moment he slipped on the prestigious Green Jacket. "I remember it was a pretty windy week, and the golf course was playing so tough. Really, my goal was just to hang in there and play well," Scheffler recounted during a chat with Rolex. "I did a good job of that. I went into Sunday with a three-shot lead. "Going into Sunday morning, it's the final round of the Masters. I wake up, turn on the TV, and start watching the golf. It seemed like all they could talk about was me. "I think it kind of dawned on me: 'holy smokes, this is a really big deal. I've worked my whole life to have a chance to win the Masters.' I was a bit overwhelmed. I remember crying a lot. Just because I was able to sit there with my wife," he shared, reports the Mirror. "She's my biggest supporter, she knows me better than anybody. She saw me go from being a fairly anonymous player of the Tour to being number one in the world. Then, to have a chance to win my first major, she kind of reminded me why I go out and play." Scottie Scheffler, visibly moved, recounted the touching conversation with his wife that still evokes strong emotions. "If I lost that day, she loves me the same, and it's the same for my family," he said. "I get emotional because I really believe that. At the end of the day, the tournament doesn't define who I am as a person. We have a saviour, He's the guiding light for our lives, and that's really what she told me that morning." Since his first Masters triumph, Scheffler has scooped up another 16 titles, including prestigious wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Players Championship, Masters again, RBC Heritage, Memorial Tournament, Travelers Championship, and wrapped up the year with the Tour Championship. Adding the recent PGA Championship to his list, Scheffler talks about the sheer weight of that momentous victory—yet it seems that memories of his initial Masters victory eclipse all, even when a four-putt on the final green narrowed his lead to just three strokes from Rory McIlroy. Recalling the pressure of the final hole, Scheffler couldn't help but chuckle. "That got me to smile more because it was kind of a funny thing, but at the end of the day, it was pretty awesome," he confessed. "Meredith was the first one to meet me on the green after. "It's just the most beautiful setting you can imagine, and my family's there. I'm so grateful for those people and so it was really cool for us to have that moment together."

Scottie Scheffler reduced to tears as he talks about wife in emotional interview
Scottie Scheffler has won three major championships, but the golf star was overcome with emotion as he recalled how his wife helped him win the Masters in 2022 Scottie Scheffler was overcome with emotion as he remembered a crucial chat with his wife before clinching his first Masters title. The newly-crowned PGA Championship winner, who recently celebrated his third major victory with a five-stroke triumph at Quail Hollow, reflected on the conversation that spurred him to success in April 2022. Scheffler, who had just climbed to world number one before he travelled to Augusta National three years ago, was preparing to lead the fourth day at the Masters when it struck him that he could be about to win his first major. He credited a heart-to-heart with his wife, Meredith, for giving him the push he needed to don the coveted Green Jacket. "I remember it was a pretty windy week, and the golf course was playing so tough. Really, my goal was just to hang in there and play well," Scheffler said in an interview with Rolex. "I did a good job of that. I went into Sunday with a three-shot lead. "Going into Sunday morning, it's the final round of the Masters. I wake up, turn on the TV, and start watching the golf. It seemed like all they could talk about was me. "I think it kind of dawned on me: 'holy smokes, this is a really big deal. I've worked my whole life to have a chance to win the Masters.' I was a bit overwhelmed. I remember crying a lot. Just because I was able to sit there with my wife," he explained. "She's my biggest supporter, she knows me better than anybody. She saw me go from being a fairly anonymous player of the Tour to being number one in the world. Then, to have a chance to win my first major, she kind of reminded me why I go out and play." The memory still stirs profound feelings for Scheffler, who teared up while remembering the heartfelt conversation with his wife. "If I lost that day, she loves me the same, and it's the same for my family," he said. "I get emotional because I really believe that. At the end of the day, the tournament doesn't define who I am as a person. We have a saviour, He's the guiding light for our lives, and that's really what she told me that morning." Since claiming his maiden Masters title, Scheffler has bagged another 16 titles, including the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Players Championship, Masters, RBC Heritage, Memorial Tournament, Travelers Championship, and the Tour Championship throughout 2024. Scheffler's recent PGA Championship victory adds to his catalogue of unforgettable achievements. However, none may rival the feeling of his first Masters win, even if a four-putt on the final hole narrowed his lead to a mere three strokes ahead of Rory McIlroy. "That got me to smile more because it was kind of a funny thing, but at the end of the day, it was pretty awesome," Scheffler admitted. "Meredith was the first one to meet me on the green after. "It's just the most beautiful setting you can imagine, and my family's there. I'm so grateful for those people and so it was really cool for us to have that moment together."

Collin Morikawa Played 'Pathetic F***ing Golf' at PGA Championship
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler dominated the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow over the weekend, breaking free from a crowded pack of contenders to win by five shots at 11-under par. Outside of Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm, who both held at least a share of a lead during the final 21 holes, a lot of the biggest stars in golf never really got anything going. That includes Collin Morikawa, a former PGA champion who finished T-50 at 4-over par. After the tournament, Morikawa summed up his play in three words, via Sean Zak of "Pathetic f***ing golf." Morikawa took advantage of scoring opportunities over the first two days of the tournament as he flirted with the top of the leaderboard early on. He sat at 3-under par through 17 holes on Thursday before a crippling double bogey on 18 put a damper on his round. The 28-year old seemed to rebound to start his round on Friday, making three birdies in his first seven holes to get to 4-under for the tournament. However, another double bogey on the 18th sent him off the rails and knocked him out of contention for good.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 16: Collin Morikawa of the United States looks over a putt on the 11th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 16, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. More Photo byThe two-time major champion has had solid results this season, with a pair of runner-up finishes including a crushing second place result at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Even in the loss, showings like that one prove that he still has what it takes to win big tournaments. However, he has not won any start since the 2023 ZOZO Championship, which is still his only victory since winning The Open Championship in 2021, nearly four years ago. While Morikawa has been mostly consistent throughout the season, his two worst results have both come recently at the RBC Heritage and the PGA Championship. Morikawa also made a shocking caddie change this year, so he is still getting the feel for having Joe Greiner on the bag. No matter the circumstances, it's clear that he is still searching for answers as the summer rolls around. More Golf: Bryson DeChambeau's 7-Words for Scottie Scheffler at PGA Championship, Revealed
