Rides ball-striking to third place finish Morikawa closed with a three-under 69 on Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open to finish in solo third place. Impact Morikawa hit more fairways than anyone this week and ranked top-three in SG: Off-the-Tee and SG: Approach. He once again showed some vulnerabilities around the greens, but was able to still squeeze out a third place finish. Morikawa easily played well enough to win this week, but comparing his game to playing partner, and eventual champion, Max Homa, Morikawa was just not able to make the putts. Nevertheless, after a pretty inconsistent 2022, the Cal product has finished second and third in two tries in 2023. Morikawa seems ready to strike any week on any golf course.
