“#Get used to Collin Morikawa taking PGA by storm<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 \u201cIt doesn\u2019t stop here.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Those four words were innocuous by nature in Collin Morikawa\u2019s victory press conference Sunday evening while he regaled media<\/a> members about becoming only the fourth player to win a PGA Championship before age 24, joining Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t stop here.<\/p>\n

Those four words opened a door into the 23-year-old\u2019s soul after his final-round 64 to win by two shots at TPC Harding Park \u2014 a game<\/a> city-owned public course that also proved to be a star this past week \u2014 had sucked the life from Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Jason Day, Paul Casey, Tony Finau and the other players who had to chance to win Sunday.<\/p>\n

Morikawa\u2019s message was simple: He\u2019s not going anywhere. This win won\u2019t define his career, nor will it be the only thing for which he\u2019s remembered.<\/p>\n

The four words were so spot on if you know anything about Morikawa, and they were delivered not in a cocky, off-putting way, but with a quiet, humble confidence. That\u2019s a gift, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a very good taste of what this is like, what a major championship is like,\u2019\u2019 said Morikawa, who 14 months ago was still a student at Cal-Berkeley and was playing in his second career major championship this past week. \u201cThe majors are going to be circled, just like everyone else [does], but I\u2019ve got to focus on every single week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to win every single week. I\u2019m not trying to come out and just win the majors [a veiled message to Koepka?]. I\u2019m 23. This is my first full year. This haven\u2019t even been a full year with everything going on.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Morikawa\u2019s year \u2014 really the past two-plus months \u2014 has been dizzying.<\/p>\n

In June, at the PGA Tour\u2019s first tournament back after the coronavirus pandemic pause, he missed a 7-foot putt on the 72nd hole that would have all but given him victory at Colonial and then missed a 3-foot putt to lose to Daniel Berger in a playoff.<\/p>\n

Morikawa handled that defeat with utter aplomb, acting and speaking like a seasoned 43-year-old Tour veteran who\u2019d been there and done that, not a 23-year-old who could have been crushed by the loss.<\/p>\n

A month later, he defeated current No. 1-ranked player Justin Thomas in a playoff at Muirfield for his second career PGA Tour victory.<\/p>\n

And then there was Sunday at Harding Park. As if anyone needed any validation of the kind of sustainable star this guy figures to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve believed in myself since Day 1,\u2019\u2019 Morikawa said.<\/p>\n

He referenced a 2019 press conference at the Travel<\/a>ers Championship when he and three other rising young stars \u2014 Matthew Wolff, Viktor Hovland and Justin Suh \u2014 conducted a press conference together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just told everyone we all believed since Day 1 that we can do this,\u2019\u2019 Morikawa said. \u201cI haven\u2019t let up from that.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Of that group of incredible talent \u2014 don\u2019t forget that Wolff nearly stole the Wanamaker Trophy with a scorching final round 65 Sunday to post 10-under in the clubhouse \u2014 Morikawa likely will be the steadiest, most consistent and enduring presence on major championship leaderboards in years to come<\/p>\n

That\u2019s his makeup. Physically, he doesn\u2019t have a weakness in his game. And mentally, he\u2019s so down-to-earth, mature and unflapp<\/a>able.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in awe still watching him play,\u2019\u2019 Morikawa\u2019s caddie, J.J. Jakovac said. \u201cAll my caddie friends say the same thing. They\u2019re like, \u2018I just cannot get over how mature your guy is.\u2019 He\u2019s like an old soul.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Morikawa referenced a dinner he had with Thomas as an educational turning point.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me, \u2018If you\u2019re good enough, you\u2019re going to be out here at some point,\u2019 \u2019\u2019 Morikawa recalled. \u201cAnd I already felt good enough. I just had to have the starts. I had to have those opportunities. I was like, \u2018Why not take advantage of these?\u2019\u200a\u201d<\/p>\n

So he did. And here we are. Fewer than 15 months into his professional career, Morikawa already is ranked No. 5 in the world and is a major championship winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you feel you\u2019re ready, you\u2019re ready,\u2019\u2019 Morikawa said. \u201cBut to be in the conversation with those guys [Jack, Tiger, Rory], it\u2019s very special \u2026 and yeah, I\u2019m ready for the next.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cNext.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t stop here.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
