Morikawa, whose only mistake of the day came when the lid fell off the Wanamaker Trophy as he lifted it up on the 18th green, said he was on"cloud nine" after the win.
"We were just hoping for a really good bounce, and we got it, hit a really good putt, and now we're here," said Morikawa, who collected the third win of his career and the second since the PGA Tour resumed in June. "You know ... wasn't meant to be," said Koepka."Three in a row, you're not really supposed to do two in a row looking at history, but that's all right. Got two more the rest of the season and we'll figure it out from there."Johnson, who was in a share of the lead late in the day, suffered a bogey at 14 shortly after Morikawa made his move. He is the first player to finish runner-up at the PGA Championship in consecutive years since Nicklaus .
