“To be called the Open Championship winner, to be called the Championship Winner of the Year, it gives me chills,” Morikawa said.

Collin Morikawa just got the crowd to sing happy birthday to his caddie.<br><br>An Open champ unlike any other.
Morikawa held off Jordan Spieth Sunday to win the title, avoiding any bogeys in his final round to finish 15 strokes under par for the week. It was the second major title for the American after also winning the 2020 PGA Championship.
Per Justin Ray, Morikawa is the first golfer to ever win two majors on his first attempt and the first since Bobby Jones to win two of his first eight starts at a major.
