Collin Morikawa may not have known what to do with his newfound free time.
More than a year into his pro career, he had grown accustomed to making week-long hotel reservations. Departing flights left on Monday morning, not Friday night. But after a head-turning start to his pro career, one that included a breakthrough win last July, Morikawa finally flashed a little mortality last month at the Travelers Championship.
Scores of 72-71 didn't come close to making the cut at TPC River Highlands, and Morikawa's made cuts streak that pre-dated his pro debut and was the longest active streak on Tour was suddenly over.
