It’s the same score as Jordan Spieth, but it’s enough to get him in Morikawa Open debut.
After the second major success, the American said: “I just want more. When you are in these moments and you really love what you do, I like to play golf and compete with these guys. This is the best moment in history, because tension will make you a better person.”
Morikawa joked that the secret to his success and perseverance during his four days at Royal St. George was his decision to eat burgers for four consecutive nights.
Compared with many of his competitors, any golfer who is relatively inexperienced in major events may receive any hint of the importance of this occasion and will soon be dismissed.

For those chasing Spieth, the 2017 Open champion is powerless in trying to regain the top of his compatriot’s leaderboard. He predicted that his opponent would win more victories.
Spieth said: “Obviously, with the ball he hits and the putt he puts in, he is not afraid of high pressure and won the Grand Slam championship.” “At the age of 24, it is clear that there is a bright future ahead.
“I think winning a major may happen when many people play very good golf in a week. I think winning two games clearly proves that this is the stage he wants. He has potential and ability. , Have the ability to deal with any bumps on the road.”
