On Friday, Collin Morikawa's golf experiment at the ongoing 2024 Genesis Scottish Open didn't impress the fans. During round 2 of the tournament, Morikawa took a left-handed shot that didn't end up on the hole. As a result, fans expressed their mixed thoughts and confusion over the last-minute change.
After that, the American golfer uploaded a story humorously addressing the same matter. He recently posted a story from his Instagram account, where he shared the video of the shot and wrote:
“It's just the same as right handed, but opposite,” Morikawa wrote.
