Only a few days ago, Collin Morikawa was criticized for his shocking stance of not giving interviews. The 28-year-old said, “I get it. Like you guys are there to figure out how we played and how things went, but in my perspective like I just didn’t want to talk to anyone, and I think that’s fair to myself, you know,” as he wanted to stay away from the negative comments. Failing to win a title yet again despite coming so close, Morikawa wanted to stay focused on the game.
He faced a lot of heat for his statement as Brandel Chamblee stated, “When I found that he had refused to do the interview I was thinking about the players who had suffered far more devastating losses, far more momentous losses, who regained their equilibrium and with class gave the media – and it’s not just giving the media, it is giving the fans and the sponsors and the entire ecosystem of the golf world an explanation of the humanity of losing.” It seems that Morikawa’s attitude triggered the golf expert.
He also faced harsh criticism from Paul McGinley and Rocco Mediate regarding the issue. However, in his most recent interview, Morikawa didn’t shy away from replying to the analyst for their comments. He said “I might bite my tongue after saying this, but to the Brandel Chamblees, to the Paul McGinleys, to the Rocco Mediates of the world, I don’t regret anything I said. You know, it might have been a little bit harsh that I don’t owe anyone, but I don’t owe anyone.”
