Collin Morikawa claimed his 1st Major Championship at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco<\/strong>. In winning the 2020 US PGA Championship<\/a>, Morikawa became the 9th player to win the US PGA on his debut, the first golfer since Keegan Bradley did so in 2011.<\/p>\n

Morikawa’s final round of 64 (-6) was enough to fend off the chasing pack including Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey by 2 shots. The highlight of the round came on the par-4 16th. After a sensational drive, where Morikawa drove the green, he was able to hold his nerve and convert his eagle putt from less than 10 feet. This got him to -13 which was enough to secure his first major against an elite leaderboard which saw the likes of Matthew Wolff, Jason Day, Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau and Justin Rose all finishing in the top 10.<\/p>\n
