Collin Morikawa, fresh off his dramatic playoff win at Muirfield Village Golf Club, returns to the Jack Nicklaus-designed layout for this week's Memorial Tournament where the course he quickly fell in love with will present a much sterner test.

Morikawa had never played Muirfield Village prior to last week's Workday Charity Open but it was hard to tell as he overcame a three-shot deficit to Justin Thomas over the final three holes before winning in a playoff."From the moment I stepped on this course I kind of fell in love," Morikawa said on Tuesday at Muirfield Village.

But Morikawa, who rose to 13th in the world rankings this week after collecting his second PGA Tour title, knows his recent result means little going into this week where a tougher field and course stand between him and a Muirfield double.
