Collin Morikawa has been the pantomine villain for us at times this season, but on Sunday he repaid us in spades. He emerged from the challenging pack to take the first Major of the season by two strokes.
His final round tee-shot on the par 4 16 was stuff of legend.
USPGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Five to Follow
Xander Schauffele at 18/1: T10
Webb Simpson at 28/1: T37
Collin Morikawa at 35/1: WON
Daniel Berger at 40/1: T13
Shane Lowry at 70/1: T66
Berger & Schauffele were in the mix right through the week, but it was Collin who surged home over the weekend posting a 65-64 finish.
Five to Oppose
Brooks Koepka at 10/1: T29
Tiger Woods at 35/1: T37
Justin Rose at 66/1: 9th
Sergio Garcia at 80/1: MC
Marc Leishman at 90/1: MC
We were opposing the punter friendly Koepka and his Sunday +4 dropped him well out of contention.
