U.S. Open: Collin Morikawa contending at The Country Club after switching putters

BROOKLINE, Mass. — At 25, and having already won the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 British Open, it’s hard to criticize Collin Morikawa’s game too much. Put a 5-iron in his hands and Morikawa is money (he ranks fifth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained approach the green and was No. 1 last season), but kryptonite for this Superman is putting. Give him a putt four to eight feet from the hole and statistically, he’s one of the worst on Tour (making 66.41 percent and ranking 154th).
