“We feel like we belong and even though we’ve watched all these guys play golf, it finally feels good to play against them and get to know them,” the 22-year-old American Morikawa told AFP after his impressive display. “I think the reason why we turned pro at the times we did is that we felt ready,” he added of the young brigade who are taking the US PGA Tour by storm week-in, week-out. Morikawa was runner-up to 20-year-old US compatriot Wolff at the 3M Open at the beginning of July and later that month won his first PGA Tour event at the Barracuda Championship. “Obviously it all happened really quickly,” Wolff told AFP, before struggling to a six-over 78 that left him in 76th place. “We’ve been very fortunate but you know, we were ready to come out here and win,” said Morikawa.
