Golf star Collin Morikawa isn't surprised to see Scottie Scheffler dominating the sport once more in 2024 and has hailed certain strengths that make his fellow American just so good
Both Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler have each won two majors apiece, but that doesn't mean the pair are equals.
One would forgive Morikawa for harbouring some resentment towards his fellow American, having battled him all season both on the PGA Tour and major circuit. Instead, the Los Angeles native - who won both The Open and the PGA Championship in little more than a year - was nothing but glowing when the world No1 came up.
When pressed about what it is specifically about playing in Scheffler's presence that's so beneficial, Morikawa steered away from the tangibles. Far from commenting on his style or shot selection, it's Scheffler's sense of composure that impresses the Californian the most. Morikawa did mention his envy at one aspect of Scheffler's play, adding: "And his distance control is really good. . .his distance control is unbelievable. And his dispersion, I don't get it. It looks like he's missing the ball when he's swinging, but it's perfect every time. It's like, 'Why can't I do that?'"
