Morikawa Posts Top-Five at RBC Heritage, Pauses Next Start Over Back Worry

He will decide his next start week by week based on how his back responds.

Overview

  • After a final-round 67 at Harbour Town, Collin Morikawa said his next tournament is unknown and will be a week-by-week call.
  • He plans to test more normal shots at home to see if his back feels stable, with a baby due soon also guiding his timing.
  • He said he has been swinging at roughly half speed and is very scared his back could give way during a swing.
  • A bunker shot in the third round sent him onto his back, which drew concern, yet he finished the event inside the top five.
  • He withdrew from The Players in March after a painful practice swing and missed three weeks, then returned with a Masters top-10 before this week’s result.
