`I want to win,' the Cal grad said after finishing behind Scottie Scheffler and earning $12.5 million
Collin Morikawa’s quest to win the FedEx Cup playoffs at the season-ending Tour Championship was rebuffed by a player who authored the greatest season golf has seen in 17 years.
Morikawa closed with a 66, leaving him at minus-26, including his four-stroke starting position. Over 72 holes, not counting their bonus strokes, Morikawa’s four-day performance of 66-63-67-66 added up to 22-under 262, best of any of the 30 golfers in the field. Scheffler carded a 264. “He has every shot, he never gets fazed,” Morikawa said. “He shanked one on the bunker on 8 and came out with three birdies after that. I think that shows who he is.”
Asked about the progress of his game since the start of the year, Morikawa acknowledged, “I’m better, but honestly I’m only going to remember the wins. This is a lot to learn from and then move on. I love seeing Scottie win. Hopefully next year, we kind of find that stride and get back on it.”
