Pebble Beach Pro-Am: Collin Morikawa ends trophy drought


A birdie at the last hole saw Collin Morikawa take victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am – his first PGA Tour win in more than two years.

Having been two ahead with two to play, the American’s lead disappeared as Australian Min Woo Lee birdied 18, before Morikawa bogeyed the penultimate hole himself.

Locked at 21-under, the pair were soon joined by Austrian Sepp Straka and a play-off looked a possibility.

But following a 20-minute wait to play his second shot as Jacob Bridgeman battled strong winds up ahead, Morikawa found the green and then left himself a short putt to card a 67 and edge ahead to end his trophy drought.

“It’s special for a lot of reasons,” said the 29-year-old afterwards.

“I’ve put countless hours and nights – probably too many hours – thinking about golf.

“I kept believing in myself. Honestly, at the beginning of this week it didn’t really feel like this was going to be possible.”
