After taking questions on a stellar second round performance that saw him surge into contention at The Players Championship, Collin Morikawa had a point to add regarding his absence from similar media duties last week.

Collin Morikawa abruptly left the golf course last week after T2 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The young golfer was frustrated because he didn't win this tournament, and he didn't even want to talk to the media.

Collin Morikawa was nearly all smiles during a Friday round at the Players Championship in which he racked up nine birdies to put himself in contention heading into the weekend. The two-time major champ's tone was a bit more serious after when he met with reporters at TPC Sawgrass.
