AUGUSTA, Ga. — Golf history goes in one ear and out the other for Collin Morikawa. It’s not because he doesn’t care; it’s just not how he’s wired.
Exhibit A: 1998 Masters champion Mark O’Meara has become a good friend to Morikawa. During his Monday practice round at Augusta National Golf Club before the 2022 Masters, Morikawa’s caddie, J.J. Jakovac, asked if he wanted to recreate O’Meara’s winning putt on the 18th green.
“And I was like, ‘What putt?’ I had no clue which putt he had to win the Masters,” said Morikawa. “So, he drops the ball, and he’s like, ‘Oh, I thought you would have known.’ I was like, ‘No, I have zero clue.'”
