Collin Morikawa Reveals Final Round Game Plan Against Stewart Cink at RBC Heritage 2021

The RBC Heritage 2021 is headed for an exciting finish. The Harbour Town Golf Links has witnessed some great golf being played over three days, and the final round will conclude the prestigious tournament. Stewart Cink leads by five strokes heading into Sunday, but Collin Morikawa has a plan to stop him. 

Cink has been phenomenal ever since the beginning of RBC Heritage 2021. The veteran golfer displayed tremendous consistency through three rounds to end up as the 54-hole leader. However, the final round jitters will spare no one, and second-placed Collin Morikawa is aware of the fact. 

Morikawa made an improvement from his second-round performance and shot a 4-under 67 in Round 3. This score helped him gain spots on the leaderboard and the 2020 PGA Championship winner is now placed second, trailing Cink by five strokes. 

“A lot of low scores out there, and on a course like this you’ve got to make birdies or else you’re going backwards. Thankful to get three in a row and give myself at least somewhat of a shot come tomorrow,” Morikawa mentioned.

The best part about the final round at RBC Heritage is that Stewart Cink and Collin Morikawa have been paired together. The duo will tee off at 2:10 PM, and this duel is a must-watch for golf fans! Watching Morikawa and Cink compete for the title will indeed be worthwhile. 

As things stand, Morikawa (-13), is five strokes behind Cink (-18). The 24-year-old is aware that he needs to put up a clinical performance in the final round to stand any chance of winning RBC Heritage 2021. 

“Oh, I’ve got to put some pressure on him at the beginning. If I go out and shoot even par like I did on the front nine today, it’s not going to get the job done no matter how many birdies I make on the back. I’m going to probably need a little help from him, but knowing that this is a course where you can see — we’ve seen 9-, 8-, 7-unders, I’m going to have to do that,” Morikawa briefed on his game plan. 

Collin Morikawa made five birdies in Round 3, but he needs to increase that number in the final round to stand a real chance of winning the tournament. Can he deliver when it matters?
