Open Championship 2022 Preview
Defending British Open champion Collin Morikawa doesn’t want to live with a replica of the Claret Jug trophy for the next year.
“The replica [which he had made] is beautiful, but it’s not the same. It never will be,” Morikawa said via the New York Post’s Mark Cannizzaro.
Morikawa got to keep the actual Claret Jug for a year after winning it in 2021, but he had to return it before this year’s tournament. Now, he will try to win it again at St. Andrews, Scotland, and end his tournament win drought, which goes back to his British Open win last year.
“At the beginning of Thursday, it’s all a clean slate,”’ Morikawa said Cannizzaro. “That’s what it is in professional golf. It’s always a clean slate. It’s always starting new. But just to know that I’ve done it in the past, have that confidence, it’s just going to be an extra little boost to kind of start off the week.”
“I know guys have played St. Andrews many times and a lot of players know the course probably like the back of their hand, but I’m going to go out there and do everything it takes to be ready by Thursday [and] hopefully come out on top,” Morikawa added. “It would be very, very special to defend at the 150th Open.”
Rory Mcllory, ranked No. 2 on the PGA Tour, knows St. Andrews well. He comes in as a contender to win the British Open this year.
“You don’t have to do anything special,” Mcllory said via BBC Northern Ireland. “You just have to play sort of boring golf, but if I can do that for four days then I’ll have a good chance.”
“St Andrews is a golf course where you think you can go shoot 66 every time you play it,” McIlroy per BBC Northern Ireland. “I know better than that and you can’t get too greedy. Be smart with your second shots, don’t take on too much and if you do that there’s always going to be chances.”
Xander Schauffele, No. 5 on the PGA tour could also make a run at the British Open title. Schauffele comes into the tournament fresh off a victory at the Scottish Open on July 7-10.
“I’ve never played St Andrews. I’ve never played the Old Course so I have a lot of homework to do,” Schauffele said via NBC Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard. “Going to rely a lot on my caddie to do that. I’m tired. I’ve played a bit and I need a rest and I need to get ready for the week.”
