Collin Morikawa Isn't The Safe Play He Used to Be Ahead of Sony Open
After a 2024 season loaded with close calls, last year for Collin Morikawa looked like more of the same at the beginning. Most of the success over the last 18 months can be attributed to his better putting statistics over that time. However, the issues with the flat stick returned toward the back half of the season, as the 28-year-old averaged -0.655 strokes gained putting over his last nine measured starts. That doesn't inspire much confidence at a tournament that historically requires holing a ton of putts. His ball-striking ability will always keep him around for most events. But a place that has such an emphasis on Morikawa's glaring weakness is certainly the place that gives a decent reason to hold off on the two-time major winner this week.
