A look at Collin Morikawa’s performance in The Genesis Invitational Round 1

Collin Morikawa teed off for the first round of The Genesis Invitational on Thursday. The unfavorable weather conditions proved to be a threat to his game.

The six-time PGA Tour winner had three birdies and four bogeys at the end of the first day. He made par on the par-4 10th hole and finished in a tie for 20th place. In a post-round interview, Morikawa told the media his game could’ve been better or worse.

“You know, it was a grind for me so it wasn't like I played well. I only got 1 over out of it. Could have been better, could have been a lot worse. Go out tomorrow and hopefully fire a low one,” Collin Morikawa said. (Via Newsweek)

He also reflected on how the weather conditions and club selections played a role in the outcome of his game.

“Hole 10's a great example. No. 10, you could have 8-iron in and today I had 5-iron in. Yesterday I had 5-wood. You know, hole 5 we're hitting 4-iron in," said Morikawa.

"That's a hole where it still plays tough, but normally you're hitting 8-iron with just normal winds, not cold, So you just kind of get this mix of the front nine, there's only a couple holes that are really, really gettable and scorable… I was happy to make par honestly from where I was,” he added.

Collin Morikawa teed off in The Genesis Invitational's second round in the same group as Hideki Matsumaya and Scottie Scheffler.
