Practicing left -handed with Tiger Woods to Las Vegas almost poured dividends for Collin Morikawa in the second round of the Genes Scottish Open.

Morikawa struck a bad approach to the fifth hole by four at the Renaissance Club which stopped on the edge of a steep bunker. Two major winners took the normal position and couldn’t play the next shot with their right hand, so he turned the wedge and hit the man on the left, which finished 7 feet from the hole.

“About a month and a half ago, I ordered a left-handed 8-iron to put some spin on it,” Morikawa said. “Tiger was really on point when I went to Tiger Jam (Tiger Woods’ annual charity golf and poker event) and we both played around with it. “It wasn’t that it was difficult, but I felt a little better knowing I wasn’t really worried about the bunkers.”

Morikawa unfortunately missed par, but added a 66 to his opening 65 to move three strokes behind club leader Ludwig Aberg.

“I ended up bogeying on one of the easiest holes of the day,” said the 2021 British Open winner. “It sucks, but I’m glad it looks cool, I guess.”
