Collin Morikawa Falls Short Again in Final Round at Arnold Palmer Invitational

The two-time major champion lost a three-shot lead on Sunday, continuing a troubling trend of late-round struggles.

Collin Morikawa finished second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, losing to Russell Henley by one stroke after holding a three-shot lead late in the final round.
Morikawa struggled on the back nine, including a crucial bogey on the par-3 14th and failing to capitalize on the par-5 16th, where Henley chipped in for eagle.
This marks another instance of Morikawa faltering under pressure, with only one PGA Tour win since 2021 despite numerous top finishes.
Morikawa acknowledged the disappointment on social media, calling the loss painful but offering no excuses as he looks ahead to The Players Championship this week.
Fellow PGA Tour pro Michael Kim expressed optimism for Morikawa's future, suggesting the setback could motivate him to contend for another major championship this year.
