it was supposed to be a two-horse race, a fierce dual between him and louis oosthuizen, the young pgap winner versus the veteran who had won this tournament way back in 2010 at the home of golf, saint andrews. but in the end, oosthuizen had a poor start and never fully got going, where as morikawa just smoothly moved up through the gears. three birdies to finish his opening nine, and then another one to come home in a total round of 66. not a single dropped shot. he only had four bogeys the whole tournament. that shows us how in control of his golf game he was. and winning here on his debut, setting more records in the process because no one's won on debut in two majors as morikawa now has. he's also the first since tiger woods to hold both the open and pga championship titles before he turns 25. and his total score of 265 for the four rounds here at royal st. george's is one off the record for open history. he could have easily got that one as well. an incredible performance that blew away a top class field, four major champions finishing at the top of that leaderboard. >> i have a p
