Collin Morikawa looks to rebound from 'wake-up call' at hometown event

Collin Morikawa once again finds himself in the unfamiliar position of trying to bounce back from a missed cut.

Morikawa turned heads when he began his pro career by making 22 cuts in a row, and he gained even more attention in August when he won the PGA Championship in just his second major start. But the 23-year-old made an early exit last month at Winged Foot, and he enters this week's Shriners Hospitals for Children Open having missed two of four cuts since his breakthrough at TPC Harding Park.

"I think the U.S. Open was kind of a wake-up call," said Morikawa, who shot 76-71 at Winged Foot.
