Collin Morikawa tops Justin Thomas in wild playoff to win Workday Charity Open

It took three extra holes, but Collin Morikawa won the Workday Charity Open on Sunday afternoon.

Morikawa, after rallying back late in the round, fended off Justin Thomas in an incredible playoff at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio — the first of back-to-back PGA Tour events at Jack Nicklaus’ course.

The win marked Morikawa’s second in his PGA Tour career, and the first of the season for the 23-year-old. He’ll now jump to No. 13 in the World Golf Rankings, his highest point and one spot ahead of Tiger Woods.

“This is a huge kind of stepping stone,” Morikawa said, via the Associated Press.
