Collin Morikawa, another young phenom in pro golf, wins Barracuda Championship



Collin Morikawa earned his PGA Tour card in a hurry.

Morikawa earned special temporary membership on the PGA Tour after his runner-up at the 3M Open earlier this month, but on Sunday he did one better, winning the Barracuda Championship in Reno, Nev., to earn automatic Tour membership through 2021.

The 22-year-old, who was in college just a few months ago, finished with three straight birdies and finished with 14 points in the final round of the modified Stableford scoring system (he shot 65). His 47 points topped Troy Merritt by three.

“It was something really special to finally get the win,” Morikawa said.
