Fresh from winning the British Open, Collin Morikawa is relishing his Olympic debut in Tokyo having taken a liking to Japan and its culture on previous visits to the country.
The 24-year-old American, who is half Japanese, has climbed to third in the world rankings after claiming two major titles since turning professional two years ago."This is my fourth time being here , third time playing golf, and it's not just because I love the area and I love everything about it, but you embrace the culture," Morikawa told reporters on Tuesday.
The players can expect rain Kasumigaseki Country Club on Thursday when the first round gets underway and Morikawa said their approach shots would have to be near perfect. Morikawa will tackle the course playing with former world number one Rory McIlroy while home favourite and Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama is also in the field.
