After figuring out he was serious and the laughter subsided, Morikawa figured out his plan for the week. “Probably hit driver or 3-wood and hopefully hit the green. If not, make up-and-down,” he said. “Honestly, there’s not a ton of strategy other than like hitting your driver within 15 yards or your 3-wood within 15 yards. “Just hit and hope, honestly.” Morikawa said that with all the videos on social media, it’s not hard to get psyched out about a course such as Oakmont before even hitting a shot, but at this point in his career, the two-time major winner feels he has the experience necessary so that won’t happen. “I’ve played enough majors now where I know what my game plan and how I have to attack this golf course,” he said. “Yes, there’s going to be some holes that I will take par. There’s a handful of holes this week already I would take par four days in a row. But there’s other holes where you’ve got to take advantage.” And that all starts by knowing what par is on every single hole. And Morikawa now has that covered.
