Collin Morikawa has named one “horrendous” shot he hit during the 2024 PGA Tour season that he would love to have back.
Morikawa’s winless run continued last year despite the American emerging as Scottie Scheffler‘s most significant competition during the season-ending Tour Cham
The world number five needs to start turning good performances into wins to truly be considered one of Scheffler’s biggest threats.
One of Morikawa’s close calls last year came at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village. Trailing Scheffler by four shots heading into the final round, the two-time major winner eventually finished just one shot back.
Morikawa was left to rue a costly three-putt on the par-three 16th as Scheffler made par.
The shot Collin Morikawa wants back
In a recent social media clip shared by the PGA Tour, Morikawa admitted his first putt on the 16th is a shot he would love to have back.
“I was against Scottie. I made a bogey on 16. I guess I would have two mulligans on that hole,” he said.
“I had the birdie putt on 15. I missed really, really badly from like five feet. Then I made a bogey on 16. My first putt was horrendous, and that, you know, it doesn’t mean I am going to win, but at least I wasn’t giving him a shot.”
So far in 2025, Morikawa has finished second at The Sentry and T17 twice at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational.
The American is set to play the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass next week.

Justin Thomas also names shot he regrets
It wasn’t just Morikawa who named one shot he wanted back. Two-time major winner Justin Thomas relived one shot he regretted at the 2018 PGA Championship.
Hunting down leader Brooks Koepka at Bellerive Country Club, Thomas was left to rue a wayward wedge shot.
“I was like one back at the PGA at Bellerive, and I was a couple of groups ahead of Brooks, and I had like a sand wedge into the hole. It was a back left pin, and I just hit a god-awful wedge shot into the back bunker and actually hit a really good bunker shot to like three feet, and I missed that. I made bogey.
“I’d like that one again because I feel like if I birdie that hole, I potentially had the chance to get some momentum and make another two or three birdies coming in and win another PGA.”
