Collin Morikawa is one of the best golfers in the world, despite his recent struggles.
Morikawa won two majors very early on in his career, but the 29-year-old has cooled off since then.
The man from Los Angeles has won just once on the PGA Tour since October 2023, and he has been struggling terribly with a back issue this season.
Collin Morikawa is capable of winning any tournament on any given day.
Sure, he has been a shadow of his former self recently, but it should surprise nobody if he wins a few more majors before he retires.
When Morikawa fully recovers from his back problem, he will surely return to his very best.
Back in 2021 when Morikawa was at the top of his game, he highlighted how he learned so much from playing with one PGA Tour player.
Adam Scott taught Collin Morikawa how to behave better on the golf course
Australian golfer Adam Scott is one of the most highly respected figures in the game.
And the 2013 Masters champion seemingly played a key role in shaping Morikawa as a golfer.
When speaking to Golf Digest five years ago, Morikawa responded when asked if any of his fellow pros have ever taught him any lessons out on the golf course throughout his career.
“When I play with Adam Scott, I pick up things on how to carry myself and manage my way around the golf course,“
“The takeaway: If you notice one of your playing partners does something well, take a close look at what exactly they’re doing, and see if you can apply it to your game.“
What Alex Fitzpatrick said about Adam Scott
There isn’t a single PGA Tour player who has anything bad to say about Scott.
Alex Fitzpatrick has only been a fully-fledged PGA Tour member for seven weeks, but he has already been blown away by Scott.
“I would say, I feel like because I’ve been around these guys for so long, I felt like I knew everyone’s game.
“The person that really stood out, even though I’d played with him before, but Adam Scott, I played with on maybe Saturday of Miami and I was like, wow, it was so impressive,” he said.
“Just hit it a long way, his irons were close, putted well. I mean, he shot eight under, which was like a course record.
“So it’s going to be impressive, but he was the only one for me that I looked at and was like, wow, that is seriously impressive.”
