Collin Morikawa "feels old" as he opens up on stressful PGA Tour season

Collin Morikawa says he feels as though he is getting old as he opened up on a frustrating PGA Tour season ahead of the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. 

Morikawa, 25, went winless in 2021-2022 on the PGA Tour. Despite starting off his campaign with a second place finished at the CJ Cup at The Summit Club in Las Vegas and a T-2 at The Genesis Invitational his season failed to really take off.

This was after he had the chance to move to the World No.1 spot at the Hero World Challenge in Albany, Bahamas but he squandered a five-stroke lead and suffered a case of the dreaded shanks. 

Morikawa began the year as the World No. 2 but is now the No. 9 in the Official World Golf Ranking. He spent the majority of the time batting away suggestions he would jump over to that tour.

Not truly being a factor in the big ones would have been as surprising as it was frustrating for TaylorMade staffer Morikawa. 

Of his 2021-2022 season, Morikawa told the media:

According to Morikawa, his problems began when he played back-to-back events on the DP World Tour after playing in Hawaii. 

Things have reportedly "not felt good" since the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the Dubai Desert Classic. 

Morikawa, who met an awestruck fan last week, continued:

Morikawa was asked if he had made any changes in the gym due to how he was feeling.
