Collin Morikawa’s wife poses with Scottie Scheffler as she posts pictures from the 2024 President’s Cup
Like most players at the Presidents Cup, Collin Morikawa is at the Royal Montreal Golf Club with his wife Katherine. As usual, Katherine Morikawa has been busy supporting the American team but has also been bonding with the rest of the players and their families.
An example of it was provided by Collin Morikawa's wife herself when she posted a picture on Instagram stories on Saturday, September 28. The picture shows her with world number one Scottie Scheffler and his wife Meredith.
The picture shows Meredith and Scottie Scheffler sitting in the back of a golf cart next to Katherin Morikawa. Collin is also in the cart but is behind his wife.
Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler were selected by captain Jim Furyk to open the day's four-ball matches on Saturday morning. The Americans are tied with Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith through the 11th hole.
Scheffler and Morikawa took the lead on the second hole, but the Internationals quickly levelled the scores with a win on the third. From there, the two teams have been tied for eight holes.
The Americans swept four-ball in the first round of the 2024 Presidents Cup to take a 5-0 lead. The International team responded with a foursomes sweep on day two to level the scores at 5-5.
