A former No. 1 Golfer in the World and an up-and-coming star in the game of Golf
Faced off in a playoff at Jack’s Place this week (Muirfield Village)
Justin Thomas vs. Collin Morikawa
While JT has won 12 times on the PGA Tour including a Major Championship
All since turning Pro in 2013
He found himself tied at -19 with Collin Morikawa after 72 holes
At the 2020 Workday Charity Open
Collin Morikawa has won twice on the PGA Tour
Since turning Pro last year at 22 years old
Colin now has more PGA Tour Victories than he does missed cuts…
He has shown a promising start to his professional career
That shows no signs of slowing down
The playoff between these two was one of the most exciting finishes
The PGA Tour has seen in quite some time
With JT making a 50-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole
And Collin answering with a 24-footer of his own to extend the playoff
That he went on to win on the 3rd playoff hole
50 feet from @JustinThomas34.

The downside to this exciting finish was that the PGA Tour wasn’t broadcasting…
The most exciting finish to a tournament in recent memory and…
Only those who went out of their way to stream the event online
Got to witness it…
Korn Ferry Tour
First-Time Korn Ferry Champion this week
David Lipsky hadn’t won a professional event since 2018
So I could imagine he needed a boost to his confidence…
After texting with Collin (Morikawa) before the final round
They told each other “Let’s take care of business tomorrow”
And they both did…
"We were literally just like, 'Let's take care of business tomorrow.'"

Saturday night, La Cañada HS alums @David_Lipsky and @Collin_Morikawa texted each other to get the job done.
Sunday, they did so.

With David’s 4-shot victory this week
He can take this momentum
To boost his road to gaining his first PGA Tour Card
And more victories like he’s tasted
On the European Tour and now Korn Ferry Tour
