Collin Morikawa is packing his bags for Atlanta, and with plenty of momentum, as his performance at the BMW Championship was a true statement. With a T4 finish at 12-under after rounds of 68-65-67-68, he not only showcased his capabilities but also confidently qualified for the Tour Championship. It was a nail-biter at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, where he briefly played himself within striking distance of the lead with an eagle on the 17th, before a bogey on the 18th dropped him back into a tie for fourth place with Gary Woodland and Chris Gotterup.
Drama in the Final Stretch
The chase for victory was intense, but Morikawa maintained a high pace. His late eagle on the 17th was a real statement, bringing fans to their feet and briefly catapulting him into third place, just one shot behind the leader. However, golf's fate had a different story in store on the 18th, and he ultimately finished at 12-under. Nevertheless, it was a truly strong performance, earning him a hefty $856,667 in prize money. The win went to Wyndham Clark, who claimed the title at 17-under, followed by Patrick Cantlay in second and Rory McIlroy in third.
On Course for Atlanta
This top result is more than just another entry on Morikawa's resume. He has solidified his seventh-place position in the FedEx Cup Standings, thus securing his ticket to the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. That's where the FedEx Cup Playoffs finale kicks off, featuring only the season's top 30 players. And as if that weren't enough, his consistent performance has also cemented his spot on the 2026 US Presidents Cup Team. The season is going well for Morikawa, and the finale in Atlanta promises to be a real highlight. One can only wonder what magic he will still perform on the green.
