Morikawa Wins In Three-hole Playoff

The Associated PressDUBLIN, Ohio — Collin Morikawa figured his tournament was over if he didn’t make a 5-foot par putt on the 15th hole at Muirfield Village. He couldn’t have imagined all the fun was just starting. Still three shots behind Justin Thomas with three holes to play, Morikawa made only one birdie and it was enough for a 6-under 66 to force a playoff. The three times he played the 18th hole, he twice could only watch as Thomas had 10-foot putts for the win. The other time, Morikawa had to make a 25-foot putt to keep playing. The only dull moment Sunday at the Workday Charity Open was the end, when Morikawa took two putts for par from just inside 10 feet to beat Thomas on the third playoff hole and win for the second time in his career. “Amazing,” Morikawa said when asked how he would sum up the day to someone who only saw the result. That covered a lot of territory. Morikawa never looked like the winner until it was over. Thomas had 10 straight one-putt greens, the last one a 25-foot eagle putt on the par-5 15th for the three-shot lead with three holes to play.Read more on NewsOK.com
