2020 PGA Championship - Collin Morikawa

[crazed 9.6]

The PGA Championship is one of the four Major Championships in men's Professional Golf

This year's PGA Championship tournament is played at TPC Harding Park, the only city-owned public course managed by the PGA TOUR and opened in 1925
This municipal golf course is owned by the city and county of San Francisco.

Today is the second round play.
Tiger's first round consisted of 5 Birdies and 3 Bogeys which had him at -2 for the first round.
Today's second round has Tiger at just above the Cut Line again this week. He is still on the course and shown a few nice shots and is just finishing up now with a Birdie chance.

The Leaders so far are sitting at -8 and -7

Wayne Gretzky's son-in-law Dustin Johnson has so far had the best round of the day.
Leaders have yet to tee off at the first.

Our leader Haotong Li, is in sole position of the number one spot.
He took the lead after Thursday's round. He teed off Thursday early in the morning and after he finished his round in the lead, he went to the practice range and never left till later that evening, he was still there even after the last group finished on the course. Then early this morning he again is at the practice tees and has not left yet.
I don't think he rented a house to stay in for the weekend, I think he is just staying at the Golf Course !!

edit added...
Joel Dahmen with an eagle 3 on the 10th to get to -7
DJ with -7 and had a Eagle chance awhile back, but not to be (currently having trouble on the 9th thou).
There are a bunch at -7 today, with everyone on the course or are In the Clubhouse.
Lanto is currently coming on strong too.
Haotong Li with 4 Pars to start out and stays at -8 currently.

Sunday's final round has Tiger finished at -1 and out of reach of the leaders. Phil is too far back as well at +4
Haotong Li lost his lead yesterday and is starting today at -5
Going into today, Dustin Johnson has the lead at -9 with a dozen or so players within 2 strokes.

In a post game interview, Tiger said he felt good. He liked most of his play. It was cold thou and he did mention that a few times.
His short game , mainly his putting, was not his best but he did not dwell on that and said he felt good and he'd be back next week.

Brooks Koepka who is 2 strokes back of DJ, was boosting a little bit at how good he is playing and that he has won more then DJ... lol
Then up at the first tee box, Koepka tees up and... swings and ...... then fires his shot into the rough
DJ will be up next with the last grouping.

DJ tees up fires it down the Fairway out to about 320 yards


Last grouping is coming up to the 9th now.
We have 3 tied at -10 and a whole pack at -9s and -8s
This is anyone's game at this point.


We now have 5 or 6 players tied at the top with -10 ... and a whole pack behind with -9s and -8s
This is still anyone's game yet !


Still 6 or 7 holes to go for the last group.
Collin Morikawa takes the outright lead with -11 ... with 4 Birdies in 14 holes to get him there.
While 6 others are one stroke back at -10

Collin Morikawa hits a massive tee shot at the Par4 16th to get his ball near the hole. With Paul Casey at the 17th also now at -11.
Tthat shot of Collin's might have been the shot of the Tournament!!

And with a 7 foot putt Morikawa drains it for an Eagle and a 2 stroke lead @ -13 !!!

That makes it 6 or 7 Eagles overall for the players at the 16th this weekend.



Casey misses a Birdie opportunity at the 18th and is In the clubhouse with -11 ... which puts all the others waiting in the clubhouse with a -10 on the bus
Morikawa tees up at the 18th and hits a perfect drive.
Dustin Johnson at the 16th gets a Birdie with a chip in shot, gets him to -10 with 2 holes to play !
Morikawa hits the green on the 18th and set up for a Birdie chance !!


Collin Morikawa grew up near this course and went to College near here too,so he knows this Public Course very well.
When he wins this (which he will) , he will have only played in two Major events , with this only his second appearance.

Morikawa taps out with a Par and a 64 in the Final Round and sitting in the lead at -13

Both DJ and his partner of the day are coming in on the 18th and both with Birdie chances but even if they get their Birdies they will be at -11 and two back from the Leader

CONGRADS Morikawa with the PGA Championship Major Tournament win !
