After 'life-changing' major win, Collin Morikawa says fame won't change him
CNN
After the RBC Canadian Open in June 2019, Collin Morikawa was ranked 1039th in the world having finished tied for 14th.
A little over a year later, in August 2020, he was golf's fifth highest-ranked player. His shock victory that month at the PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco -- finishing two shots ahead of Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey in only his second major outing -- catapulted him to the top of the game and into mainstream recognition.More Related News
