Collin Morikawa showed no sign of inexperience as he surged into the lead on his British Open debut with a nine-under after a 64 in the second round at Royal St. George’s on Friday. The American is making his first appearance at the Open and played for the first time on British soil last week at the Scottish Open where he finished in a tie for 71st. “I wouldn't be here through these two rounds if I hadn’t played last week at the Scottish,” said Morikawa. “It was a huge learning opportunity. I went into last week wanting to win but I came out of it learning a lot more and that is helping me this week.”
