How Collin Morikawa made Cal history

Fresh off his first ever PGA Tour Major victory, former California Golden Bear men’s golfer Collin Morikawa has made Cal history. He didn’t also just make Cal history, he became just the fourth golfer to win the PGA Championship at the age of 23.

He joined an incredible cast of golfers to do such a thing — oh just to name them how’s Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy sound.

While other former Bears have won PGA Tour events, Morikawa became the first former Cal golfer to win a major championship.

He also has made the cut in each of his first 23 tournaments, the second-longest streak to begin a pro career in history.
