"Don’t hit it in the water on 11" - Collin Morikawa shares 'few things' he learned from the Masters loss

The Masters - Final Round
Collin Morikawa during the The Masters - Final Round

Following a tough loss at the Masters 2024, Collin Morikawa said he had a couple of learnings from the week.

Morikawa, who was just one stroke back after 54 holes, carded a 2-over 74 on Sunday and had to settle for joint third place after aggregating at 4-over. He was having an error-free round until the ninth hole, where he made a double bogey. Two holes later, he made another one after his approach shot found the water on par 4, the 11th. From there, he couldn't recover for the rest of the day.

After missing the opportunity to grab his first Major in four years, Morikawa shared his learnings from the defeat on X.

"A few things I’ve learned from this week," he wrote. "1. Don’t hit it in the water on 11, duh."
"2. Get better at tee flips so I’m always going second," he added.

Morikawa won the PGA Championship in 2020 and the Open Championship in 2021. This could have been his third Major, but tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler hardly gave any other player a chance with his incredible dominance throughout the week. He fired a 4-under 68 in the final round and aggregated at 11-under to beat Ludvig Aberg by a four-stroke margin.
