Collin Morikawa impressed at another tournament, playing great at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Although it was expected that the 28-year-old could celebrate in this competition, the superior performance of Russell Henley stopped Morikawa in his tracks. The American golfer is known as a persona who has the necessary consistency, although of course, the victory would be much dearer to him.

Collin finished just one stroke behind Henley, although he had previously held the lead all the way to the end. Henley's chip-in-eagles on the par-5 16th hole was decisive. There are many things in which Morikawa has improved, and the reactions of fans and experts after such a performance are the best testimony to this.
The next challenge for this golfer will be The Players Championship, hungry and eager for success in this tournament.
Collin Morikawa: I felt like I've put in a lot of good work
After the third round of this tournament, the American golfer stressed that in the last two weeks he feels that he has improved, looking forward to the next challenger.
Last year was a specific experience for him, a bit disappointed, considering that he could have done more.

I was sick in February, so I just never felt like I had complete control of the golf game, didn't quite know where the ball was going, couldn't get the feels right, Morikawa said, as quoted by PGA Tour.
But the past two weeks I felt like I've put in a lot of good work, and it's nice to see it.
I look back at last year and it never felt like I had my game to just go out and just play golf. I felt like I was always kind of, you show up on Sunday, and not that I was guessing, but you still were fighting something and trying to just make it work. It's hard to win like that.- he concluded.
