Micah Morris’s PGA Tour Canada Debut DID NOT Go Well

Former member of Good Good Golf and current YouTuber and PGA Tour hopeful Micah Morris played his first PGA Tour Canada event this weekend, and it did not go as planned.

We reported yesterday that Morris was playing the Osprey Valley Open at TPC Toronto through a Sponsor’s Exemption, something he confirmed on his YouTube channel and Instagram recently.

It is his first tournament on a PGA Tour circuit, but unfortunately for Morris, he came well short of making the cut, finishing in last place through two days after firing an 82 on Thursday and a very respectable 75 on Friday.

There is no doubt that nerves played into Morris’s 82 on Thursday.

Let’s be honest: Many of us have quite an adrenaline rush when we play the first tee shot of a local tournament or even a scramble with friends. This was a whole new ballgame for Morris, who is one of the most respected players on YouTube and is a phenomenal player.

But as Meek Mill once said, “There’s levels to this,” and Morris was simply outclassed this weekend by finishing 156th out of 156 golfers.

Morris will have plenty of work to do, and we are encouraged that his next outing will be much better than this, but it is understandable that the first outing of his career may have surfaced anxiety in a way that was never felt before.

Morris has been vocal about his desire to play on professional tours and on the professional level, so we doubt this is the last time you’ll see him.

Morris played with Cougar Collins, who is -5 and T25, and Sebastian Szirmak, who is +3 and will miss the cut.

Blake Maum currently leads the Osprey Valley Open at -15 after firing 64 and 63 on Thursday and Friday, respectively, sitting three shots clear of Myles Creighton.
