Everyone has their favorite courses in golf, where they believe they perform the best. But, apparently, Collin Morikawa doesn’t have any preferences. A golf content specialist, Joy Chakravarty, recently revealed so on Twitter.
I asked world No2 @collin_morikawa if he preferred parkland courses, or links, which is what we have at @YasLinksGC this week. He had a really cool answer to that.

Joy is a former media manager of the Indian PGA Tour. He shared a segment from his chat with the current World No. 2 on his Twitter.
When Joy asked Collin whether he likes to play at parkland courses or links, the 24-year-old didn’t hesitate in his answer. He said, “I show up to these courses thinking I can win. I haven’t yet showed up at a course where I felt my game can’t play here.”
