Collin Morikawa does the unthinkable by winning in just his second career major appearance!
Collin Morikawa claimed his first major championship on Sunday, August 9, delivering a magical eagle on the 16th hole in a bogey-free round of 64 at the 2020 PGA Championship.
"It's amazing. It's been a life goal, obviously as a little kid, kind of watching everyone grow up, all these professionals, and this is always what I've wanted to do," Morikawa said."I felt very comfortable from the start. Third round leader Dustin Johnson had to settle for a tie for 2nd with England's Paul Casey. Johnson shot a 68 and Casey closed with a 66 to reach 11-under 269.
When Johnson made the turn after his ninth hole, he was tied with 3 others for the lead at 10 under. They were soon joined by others making it a six-way tie for the lead on the back nine.Morikawa put it all together in the fourth round, keeping pace with the leaders throughout then emerging from the pack late in the round.
Johnson birdied his final hole, while Casey, who was trying to become the first Englishman to win the PGA in 100 years, made par there. Brooks Koepka failed in his bid for a historic three-peat. The two-time defending PGA champion got off to a woeful start with 4 bogeys on the front nine en route to a four-over 74.
