In a year of firsts in the majors, Collin Morikawa might have topped them all.

His performance over four days at the British Open was unlike anything seen at Royal St. George's, even in such ideal weather for the English coast.

In his first real test of links golf, Morikawa didn't make a bogey over his final 31 holes, blowing past mistake-prone Louis Oosthuizen and never flinching as Jordan Spieth made one last charge late Sunday afternoon.

Morikawa made three straight birdies at the turn to build a four-shot lead. He made a 20-foot birdie on the 14th when Spieth had closed to within one. He saved par with a 10-foot putt on the next hole for breathing room.

Collin Morikawa won the 149th Open Championship on Sunday over three other former major winners -- Jordan Spieth, Louis Oosthuizen and Jon Rahm -- with his third 4-under 66 of the week in his first-ever trip to the oldest golf tournament in the world. It's easy to forget that he's a kid. He doesn't talk like it, and he doesn't think like it. He sure swings like a kid, though. He walks and plays like one, too.

Before Sunday was Saturday. Morikawa was 2 over thru his first six holes and four down to playing partner Louis Oosthuizen, the 18-, 36- and eventual 54-hole leader. Morikawa didn't look lost, but it did appear as if the fade was on. It would not have been extraordinary. You're not supposed to put yourself in position to win -- much less actually win -- your first Open Championship. It is the major with the oldest average age for a champion over the last decade for a reason.

Louis Oosthuizen lidera el Abierto Británico de golf con 54 hoyos luego de la ronda del sábado en el campo del Royal St. George’s. El sudafricano tuvo un birdie de ocho pies en el hoyo 16 y par en el último hoyo para terminar con 69. Eso le dio un golpe de ventaja sobre Collin Morikawa para la última ronda. Jordan Spieth estaba empatado en la punta hasta que hizo bogey en el 17 y sorpresivamente…
