Collin Morikawa unsure when he will play golf again after final round of the RBC Heritage

“It’s not really the place to be testing, middle of a tournament, or any day out here for me, especially with where I’m at. But when I’m at home next week, I’ll be able to see how comfortable can I really get, and hopefully we can just get back to normal in a short period of time.“

He was then asked how disappointing it is for him to not be 100 per cent healthy right now.

“Yeah, a little bit of both,“ he replied.

“It feels like I could have put some scores maybe a little bit better, but I’ve hit some great shots. I’ve made some great putts. Like I said, I’m pretty happy with the way the last two weeks have gone.“

Before one reporter asked him when he will next tee it up in a tournament.

“Unknown,“ Morikawa admitted.

“Going to see how the body goes. Obviously we have a baby due, and that can kind of throw some things off. Going to take it week by week now.“

Collin Morikawa says last two weeks ‘has been a grind’

The two-time major winner was asked by reporters how he is feeling after two very physically challenging weeks in a row.

“I’m happy these last two weeks are done,“ he said.

*“*It’s been a grind. The two weeks of golf have felt like a full year of golf, just grinding through it, playing.

*“*But it was nice; I think I learned a lot about myself. Mentally I was pretty strong throughout the last two weeks. There’s something to take from not having the full health of being able to swing a club but kind of working with what you have.

“I think I did a pretty good job so far. I wish I had the last one back, but overall, hopefully a couple top 10s to finish the week.“

Now’s the time for Morikawa to rest up and recuperate. He needs to start trusting the fact that his back will be ok when he’s hitting his shots otherwise he could face some real problems in the future.
