OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Collin Morikawa is happy to have his trusty fade back.
After pulling a back muscle last month during the first round of the Olympics in Japan, Morikawa adjusted his swing to compensate for the injury, a temporary swing fix that resulted in, as Morikawa calls them, “these slap draws.”
“I hadn’t hit a draw since like high school, 10 years ago,” Morikawa said. “But that was my only way to survive and not make it worse.”
On Tuesday at Caves Valley Golf Club, site of this week’s BMW Championship, Morikawa was feeling better, both physically and with his action.
