don't understand the reason for the flag. Can't talk about idioms on here or what?

Morikawa looks pretty stellar thus far in his career. Is that okay to say?

I love his swing. I get young Couples vibes from how effortless he strikes the ball. Not the longest of the new 3, but he appears to be the most tour ready.

Jones Scott would have only won if Obee was not entered in that case

Collin's the best ball striker. And he hits it 298 off the tee. Not long but not short. Read an article saying he hits his 6 iron like other elite guys hit their PW consistency wise. That's insane. And it shows on tour. His SG approach is 1.18 something. Koepka who says he hits it better than anyone is 0.739. That's a huge difference. His total strokes gained is less than DJ, but above Koepka (yeah his isn't accurate since he wasn't playing well in non majors until recently). I think he's here to stay. Provided he performs like this in bigger events.

Oh I suspect if he keeps winning they'll eventually jump on it. With the Japanese love of golf (and the Olympics just around the corner helping to peak interest even more), it would certainly be lucrative for him to cash in on the cultural connection.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be culturally insensitive with historical facts. I tried to figure out a way to defend the OP's title against others who thought it was dumb. No good deed go unpunished.
