ON his British Open debut, American Collin Morikawa again made the world sit up a take a look at his prowess. Morikawa said he made a significant change to his irons set-up at Royal St. George’s, following his first links experience the week before at the Scottish Open – and it certainly paid off. Working with TaylorMade’s Sports Marketing representative Adrian Rietveld, Morikawa was aiming to improve his centre strike on his mid and short irons on the firmer and tighter links turf. Morikawa said: “I changed my irons, my 9 through 7 iron that I normally have blades in. After playing on the US PGA Tour’s faster greens all year, when Morikawa arrived at the Scottish Open he struggled to get the ball to the hole on the slower links greens.
