Collin Morikawa admits what’s ‘really weird’ as he insists he’s feeling no pain at The Masters

A few weeks ago, it seemed inevitable that Morikawa would be one of the players to put himself in the mix at the first major of the year. He was in sublime form heading into The Players Championship.
However, he was forced to withdraw in the early stages at TPC Sawgrass due to a back injury. And he did not play again in a competitive round before arriving at Augusta National. Nevertheless, Morikawa recovered from an opening 74 to post a 69 on Friday and put himself inside the top 20 heading into the weekend at The Masters .
He has the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Åberg among the group one shot further back. Collin Morikawa says he is not in any pain after the first two rounds at The Masters That is a remarkable achievement considering that while Morikawa insisted that he is not playing in any pain, he does lack confidence in his swing right now. “Honestly, it doesn’t hurt.
My legs are very tired, but the trust isn’t there. It’s a really weird way to describe it. I don’t trust myself to swing normally,” he said.
