Collin Morikawa’s unusual range, explains

If you’ve been watching the 2025 U.S. public coverage, you might be able to catch a glimpse of Collin Morikawa within the scope of your practice on Monday.
You might already wonder what he is doing, but if you are a golf nerd who keeps adjusting your swing, you might realize that the drill is a clever trick to check postures at the address.
Morikawa confirmed the skepticism at a press conference Tuesday afternoon and provided an in-depth explanation of why he was focusing on this setup key and how this simple aspect could play a major role in Oakmont this week.
“It’s all poses, and I’ve been trying to find this little thing so that I can use the hands I know I can use. A lot of the feelings come from our hands, which determine where that photo goes.”
“You look at the best in the world, Scotty Schefler, his feet and everything moves, he can control that golf club, and lately I feel like I’m a little crowded with the setup, and this posture just allows me to give myself space without forcing myself to be in bad shape.”
Not only can a bad posture cause Morikava to fall into an inappropriate physical position, he explains that it also reduces his ability to use his hands.
“It hardly finds a way to get a good posture, but relax so I can use my hands,” he said.
And, being able to use your hands is crucial to controlling the club when your thickness is as rough as the Oakmont.
“It’s too thick, the club will roll over. You’ll see guys trying to hit the wedge wedge and it’s going 45 degrees because that’s the rough thickness.”
While the U.S. Open Green Staff has cut the hardship, it will certainly be interesting to see how these players (including Morikava) pile up on their second layoffs later this week.
