Collin Morikawa delivers a stunning 62 at Pebble Beach — and says the biggest change wasn’t his swing, but his mindset.
After missing the cut earlier this season, Morikawa admits he questioned everything. But a key conversation with his coach reminded him of one simple truth:
“I didn’t turn pro to make cuts… I came out to win.”
In this powerful press conference, Collin Morikawa talks about:
Regaining momentum after frustrating results
Feeling like his “old self” with iron control
Why soft greens have changed Pebble
Being brutally hard on himself
The fine margins between 30th and winning
Switching mindset to attack the tournament
Testing a putter borrowed from Kurt Kitayama
His emotional connection to Northern California golf
“I’m out here to win. When you finish 30th, 15th, 3rd — at the end of the day, I want to win.”
Morikawa says he finally sees momentum building — and now he’s given himself a real chance heading into the weekend.
Can he close it out?
