Former Cal golfer Morikawa is in contention at the Travelers Championship after carding a 66 in the third round, which included a three-hour rain delay
Former Cal golfer Collin Morikawa stayed in contention at the Travelers Championship by shooting a 4-under-par 66 on Saturday in the third round at the TPC River Highlands course in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Morikawa heads into Sunday’s final round in sixth place at 15 under par, three strokes behind third-round leader Tom Kim, who is at 18-under following a 5-under-par 65 on Saturday. Morikawa, who is ranked seventh in the world, is playing some of the best golf of his career recently. He has a shot at finishing in the top four for the fourth time in his last five events. But he is looking for his first tour win since his victory in the Zozo Championship last October.Consistently contending is more draining mentally than physically. The steps accumulate, but the stress lingers. Morikawa has consistently put himself within earshot of victory this season.
The last hurdle to clear is mental, Morikawa said. His swing is finally in a good place. Now, it’s about making the right decisions and being present for every shot. That’s the final differentiator.
