Collin Morikawa shoots 5-under 66 to lead RBC Heritage
Collin Morikawa had another solid round Friday in the RBC Heritage with a 5-under 66 and appears to be getting back to the reliable form that made him a two-time major champion.
Morikawa had a four-way share of the lead with Tom Hoge , J.T. Poston and Sepp Straka, who recovered from an opening drive that plunked a spectator in the head and led to a double bogey. Straka saw blood but settled down after hearing the spectator was going to be fine, then put together eight birdies for a 65.
Morikawa has been searching for the key to that repeatable swing of his that led to a PGA Championship title in 2020 at Harding Park and the British Open a year later. He won last fall in Japan, but has been lacking the trust in whatever fix he keeps making. “Still have a lot of trust in the swing,” he said. “Whether it went right or wrong, I was able to kind of accept the fact and move on. Two or three months ago – or even two weeks ago – if I saw a couple of bad shots it was like, ‘What do I fix? What do I try?’
“You never really want to catch a driver on the fly, especially to the head,” Straka said. “That was tough.” The 2-iron was too flat. The 7-wood gives him some height, and it soared from 258 yards over the treetops to about 30 feet for a two-putt birdie.
