AUGUSTA, Ga. \u2014 On the eve of the Masters, the most important tournament of the year, Collin Morikawa on Tuesday tripled down on controversial remarks he made last month about tournament media obligations.<\/p>\n
Morikawa\u2019s ordeal began when he lost a three-shot lead with three holes to play to winner Russell Henley at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. <\/p>\n
Afterward, he declined to speak to reporters and bolted to the locker room.<\/p>\n
The following week, at the Players Championship, Morikawa explained to reporters, \u201cI don\u2019t owe anyone anything. <\/p>\n
No offense to you guys, but for me, in the moment of that time, I didn\u2019t want to be around anyone.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
After being widely criticized for that stand, he would later double down on it. <\/p>\n
And when asked about it Tuesday, he again reiterated his stance.<\/p>\n
Morikawa insisted he was \u201cnot upset by\u2019\u2019 the criticism he took, saying, \u201cI think everyone took it in a wrong direction.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Then he added, \u201cLook, I said I could have said it differently. But I stand by what I said. I was in the moment. We talk about giving people space to be who they are, and at that time it was for me to be who I was. I didn\u2019t want to be around anyone. I didn\u2019t even want to be around my wife. I said hi to her after, we hugged, and I just went straight to the locker room. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn that aspect \u2026 I think there needs to be a balance, and an ebb and flow between everything. I do want to be here for you guys [reporters], but here\u2019s the thing: I\u2019ve been in the top five in the world before and people don\u2019t come up to me and ask me questions. You can\u2019t just ask me when I\u2019m playing well. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou guys should be asking the top 10 players every single week, every single day and just document it. Then you get a sense of who we are and you get a flow of how that comes to be. There\u2019s a balance, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you guys don\u2019t want to ask me, it\u2019s not my job to go out and tell you my story. Sometimes it is, but you do that through social media, you do that through playing well, winning tournaments. But not everyone is like that.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n
When Rory McIlroy, ranked No. 2 in the world, was asked about the comments made by Morikawa, ranked No. 4, he delivered an interesting reaction. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, he\u2019s right,\u2019\u2019 McIlroy said. \u201cNot that I think he could have worded it a little bit better, but look, every other athlete \u2014 whether it be in the NBA, NFL \u2014 they\u2019re obligated [by the respective leagues] to speak to you guys after a game. We\u2019re not.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether that\u2019s something that the PGA Tour looks to in terms of putting that into their rules and regulations \u2026 but as long as that\u2019s not the case and we have that option to opt out whenever we want, expect guys to do that from time to time.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Paul McGinley \u2014 a former player, Ryder Cup captain and current Golf Channel analyst \u2014 recently called for the PGA Tour powers to institute a rule requiring players to fulfill media obligations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would be very strong on it if I was [PGA Tour commissioner] Jay Monahan,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
