to said it was a great final round, and he's the one who stepped up. everyone else tried, but failed to step up like morikawa did. i think that's something you really find if you follow golf at all, the fact that he could do what he did at 23 isa that he could do what he did at 23 is a big thing. now all the sudden, you become anointed as the next great player, even though you only won one majorambjgn ship. that's won one major ambien ship. that's the discussion that's going to be
