Collin Morikawa made seven birdies in his first 14 holes as part of a clinic in iron play and wound up with a 6-under 64 to take an early lead at TheOpen Championship.
Morikawa was still smiling. He was leading The Open Championship.
Morikawa isn’t sure he would be in this position if not for coming over to the Scottish Open last week at The Renaissance Club. It’s not a true links, though the turf was so tight that he changed three of his irons . Morikawa was in sight of a bunch of scoring records that he apparently knew nothing about after some approach play that he said was “on a string.”
At that stage, he needed two birdies to post a 61 for the lowest score in major championship history.
