Collin Morikawa builds big lead before storms hit Charity Open at Muirfield

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Among the lessons Collin Morikawa took away from missing his first cut as a pro was that his reliable cut shot had left him. He found it at Muirfield Village and suddenly looks as though he'll be tough to catch at the Workday Charity Open.

Morikawa ran off four straight birdies after making the turn Friday, finished with another birdie and shot 6-under 66 to build a six-shot lead when thunderstorms arrived in Ohio.

His 13-under 131 was one shot off the course record set by Jason Dufner in 2017 at the Memorial.
