<h1>Collin Morikawa Updates on Back Injury After Strong Performance at RBC Heritage</h1>
<p><strong>Published 12 hours ago</strong></p>
<p>
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Collin Morikawa expressed he had "never been this scared" before playing in the first round of the RBC Heritage. Following a T7 finish at the Masters, he noted that he was swinging at only 50% capacity and had limitations on certain shots.
</p>
<p>
"I’m not in pain," he mentioned on Thursday. "It may have seemed like it, but I was incredibly anxious, and this is the first time I've felt this way about playing golf. This anxiety stems from the injury occurring on the golf course rather than in the gym, where I have previously encountered such issues."

Despite these concerns, Morikawa managed to secure a final-round score of 4-under 67, finishing at 13-under overall for a T4 position, just five shots behind champion Matt Fitzpatrick.

After his final round, he admitted, "I'm relieved that these last two weeks are over. It felt like an entire year of golf, just grinding through it. However, I realized a lot about my mental strength during this period. Adapting to my limited ability to swing effectively was a valuable learning experience."

One month post-injury from THE PLAYERS Championship, the seven-time PGA TOUR winner continues to feel its impact. He noted that although he experienced no pain during the Masters, he is battling through a mental wall.

Morikawa showcased a stronger performance on Sunday, achieving six birdies and hitting 14 greens in regulation, placing second in Strokes Gained: Approach for the week. His fifth consecutive top-seven finish has mirrored his earlier win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Moving forward, Morikawa and his wife Katherine announced they are expecting their first child this spring. Consequently, he will not participate in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, opting to recuperate and test his swing in a more familiar environment. Reflecting on his performance, he stated, "I had to control myself after feeling the rush of speed that made me apprehensive." As the PGA TOUR heads towards back-to-back Signature Events, he will reassess his schedule week by week.
