Collin Morikawa's comeback story: Ending the PGA Tour victory drought at Pebble Beach.
In a thrilling finale, Collin Morikawa secured his first PGA Tour win since 2020 at the iconic Pebble Beach Pro-Am. But it wasn't without drama! With a two-stroke lead, Morikawa's victory seemed certain until a late surge from Min Woo Lee and a costly bogey on the second-last hole. Suddenly, a playoff loomed as three players tied at 21-under.
And here's where it gets interesting: Morikawa's decisive moment came after a 20-minute delay, waiting for Jacob Bridgeman to battle the elements. Could this have affected his focus? Despite the wait, he calmly found the green and sank a crucial putt for the win.
'It's a special moment,' Morikawa reflected, acknowledging the mental battle. 'You question yourself... but I kept the faith.' This victory is a testament to his resilience, as he ended a 45-event winless streak.
But was it a fluke, or a sign of a true champion's return? The golf world is buzzing with debate. What's your take? Is Morikawa back to his major-winning best, or was this a one-off?
