Collin Morikawa wants to make history. Remembering it, however, is a different story.
Morikawa won two majors, the PGA Championship and The Open, prior to turning 25. He’s the third-ranked player in the world and he’s going for the third leg of the career Grand Slam this week at the Masters Tournament.
His name, because of his accomplishments at such a young age, gets mentioned with the likes of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus. He’s well aware of where he stands in the game and what others have accomplished before him – in general.
Morikawa was in the Augusta National press building on Monday and was asked what his first Masters memory was and he responded, like many before him, Woods’ win in 1997.
