medal in August and for Hoe, an American Schauffele whose family has ties to
Japan, this will be a return to the country.

is half Japanese.

Zozo Championship. He turned pro that year, but a lot has happened since then,
including big wins in the British Open
and the PGA Championship.

website Morikawa told: The world has clearly changed, my golf game Playing
there (Zozo) in 2019 allowed me to start my career and since then, two years
later and my experience has also changed.

event of the first U.S. PGA Tour in Japan, which is unforgettable. This win
enabled him to match the 82 PGA Tour titles held by the legendary Sam Snead
