Collin Morikawa won his first major tournament Sunday, picking up the victory at the PGA Championship, after beating Paul Casey, Bryson DeChambeau and a whole list of others.
The 23-year-old did not finish higher than 35th on a major, but the last two laps at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco shot him to victory.

He also took a pretty hefty check at home. The total scholarship at the PGA Championship this year was $ 11 million.
Morikawa had to take home $ 1.98 million.
The 23-year-old shot back-to-back 69s in the first two rounds of the tournament before finishing the third round with a 65 to keep him within striking distance of the leaders.

Morikawa’s eagle on the 16th hole was what gave the young golfer the edge in the final part of the round. On a par 4, he trotted the ball 7 feet from the pin and nailed the eagle shot. It turned out to be the difference maker in the end and what set him apart from Casey.
He finished the fourth round with a 64.
Morikawa had two wins on the PGA Tour in entering the PGA Championship. He won the Barracuda Championship of 2019 and last month won the Workday Charity Open in a playoff against Justin Thomas.
