The game of golf is a rollercoaster ride. Every golfer goes through their ups and downs and through those phases, one needs steadfast support to come out victorious. That person for Collin Morikawa [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/collin-morikawa/] is his wife, Katherine Zhu Morikawa. Collin Morikawa successfully ended his 27-month-long drought by winning the ZOZO Championship. Without his wife’s support, he could not have come as far as he did. Katherine took to Instagram after the win and shared her pride in her husband. COLLIN MORIKAWA GRABS HIS FIRST WIN IN 27 MONTHS Collin Morikawa came out of a slump that lasted 27 months by winning the ZOZO Championship in Japan. With 14-under 266, he had a bogey-free 4th round. His last triumph was in 2021 at the DP World Tour Championship. This was his 6th PGA Tour title, and he had won two majors. Winning the event was special as Japan is home to his paternal grandparents and his wife was present in the gallery supporting him. Morikawa appreciated her being there and said, “It’s been a long time since she’s actually been at the tournament since we won, so it’s nice to have her here. [https://youtu.be/TSp9EulYhj0?si=WQmPQLX8HsUjyM4D]” Katherine had been there throughout Collin’s career slump and had given him a kiss before he went to hit the 18th hole. After the win, she took to Instagram to share how proud she was of her husband and his hard work. Katherine also accompanied him to the Ryder Cup [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ryder-cup/], which the Americans could not win. The couple have been together since 2017 and tied the knot last year in November. COLLIN MORIKAWA FELT THE VICTORY WAS HIS “FIRST WIN” This was the victory Morikawa had been waiting for over the last two years. He had to end his drought, and he had tried. Fans may remember how at The Sentry Tournament of Champions, he lost his lead to a bunch of bogeys and lost to Jon Rahm [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jon-rahm/]. As His Alma Mater Embark On a Major Challenge [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-roll-damn-tide-golf-fans-validate-as-justin-thomas-subtly-roots-as-his-alma-mater-embark-on-a-major-challenge/] Thus, as he won this event without a single bogey in round four, it was an emotional one for the golfer. Morikawa said, “It feels so good, I can’t even explain it, It’s like getting your first win, your first major.” Morikawa stands 20th in the Official World Golf Ranking and his best was when he ranked 2nd. Morikawa will be attempting to reach his career’s best once again and fans are excited.
