British Open 2021: Collin Morikawa relies on his wisdom and innocence to win historic second major
Collin Morikawa won the 149th Open Championship on Sunday over three other former major winners -- Jordan Spieth, Louis Oosthuizen and Jon Rahm -- with his third 4-under 66 of the week in his first-ever trip to the oldest golf tournament in the world. It's easy to forget that he's a kid. He doesn't talk like it, and he doesn't think like it. He sure swings like a kid, though. He walks and plays like one, too.
Before Sunday was Saturday. Morikawa was 2 over thru his first six holes and four down to playing partner Louis Oosthuizen, the 18-, 36- and eventual 54-hole leader. Morikawa didn't look lost, but it did appear as if the fade was on. It would not have been extraordinary. You're not supposed to put yourself in position to win -- much less actually win -- your first Open Championship. It is the major with the oldest average age for a champion over the last decade for a reason
