In a shocking turn of events, two-time major champion Collin Morikawa found himself in a heated exchange with a reporter during a recent press conference. The usually cool and collected golfer was clearly not in the mood for any nonsense as he fired back at the unsuspecting journalist.
The altercation began when the reporter asked Morikawa about his recent performance on the course. Morikawa, clearly irked by the question, snapped back, “Don’t put me down, man. I may have hit a few bad shots, but I’m still a two-time major champion. Show some respect.”
The reporter, taken aback by Morikawa’s response, tried to backtrack and salvage the interview. But Morikawa wasn’t having any of it. He continued to berate the reporter, saying, “I don’t need you to tell me how to play golf. I know what I’m doing out there. Don’t make me come over there and show you how it’s done.”
The exchange quickly went viral on social media, with fans and fellow players weighing in on the drama. Fake golf legend “Tiger Hood” chimed in, tweeting, “Looks like Morikawa is taking a page out of my playbook. Gotta respect the fire in his belly.”
As the dust settled, Morikawa took to Twitter to address the incident, writing, “Just a little misunderstanding with the reporter. We’re all good now. Just remember, don’t put me down. I’m a champion, baby.”
Despite the tense moment, Morikawa’s fiery outburst only served to further solidify his reputation as a fierce competitor on the course. And who knows, maybe a new rivalry is brewing in the world of golf journalism. Watch out, reporters, Collin Morikawa is not one to be trifled with.
