“His creativity with his irons, that’s something his coach
talks about,” Ryan Ressa, TaylorMade’s manager of
player development, who has been a first-hand witness
since Morikawa was a teenager, recently shared with
Golf.com. “He’s not afraid to grip down on the club and
chip one out there and shape it. A lot of these bombers
are kinda all out with their irons. Collin has the ability to
work it both ways. You saw it in San Francisco with the
drastic temperature change there. Those guys had to hit
different shots with their irons — a lot of mid irons and
7, 8 irons. It’s on command. Obviously, he’s comfortable
with that weather playing at Cal. But that was the full
display at the PGA.”

It appears Morikawa will be taking dead-aim at pins in
Las Vegas and beyond for years and years to come.
