INZAI CITY, Japan -- Collin Morikawa's last PGA Tour victory was the British Open in 2021, but his 6-under 64 on Thursday to lead the Zozo Championship after the first round suggests the end of the American's mini slump might be in sight.
Mikumu Horikawa and Americans Ben Shelton and Eric Cole were among five players just a shot back at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club on the outskirts of Tokyo, the only PGA Tour event in Japan.
Morikawa has Japanese ties on his father's side, though he's unclear who his distant relatives might be in Japan.
