Collin Morikawa takes WGC-Workday Title; thanks Tiger Woods

World Golf Championships - WGC-Workday Championship at The Concession 2021

Collin Morikawa tames 'beast of a course' to win WGC-Workday by three shots, thanks Tiger Woods

Collin Morikawa produced a brilliant display of front running to win his first World Golf Championships title at the WGC - Workday Championship at The Concession 2021.

The American entered the day with a two shot lead and while he was caught in the early stages, he showed no signs of nerves and regained his advantage at the turn, never looking back as he signed for a 69 and cruised to a three shot victory at 18 under.

Norway's Viktor Hovland and Americans Billy Horschel and Brooks Koepka finished in a share for second.

Many in the field were wearing red and black as a show of support to Tiger Woods after his car accident earlier in the week and Morikawa joined the 15 time Major Championship winner in an exclusive club of two.

The reigning US PGA Championship winner's victory at the age of 24 saw him become just the second player alongside Woods to win a Major and a WGC before the age of 25.

On completing his winning round, Collin Morikawa thanked Tiger Woods.

"Tiger means everything to me. Yes, he had the crash and thankfully he's okay and will make a quick recovery. But I don't think we say thank you enough, so I want to say "Thank You!" to Tiger."

Collin, too, had lost a loved one recently, his grandfather, and at one stage he seemed to be fighting back tears when he spoke of him.
