It's hard to be disappointed when you take home $2 million, as former Cal golfer Collin Morikawa did, but he can't be satisfied with his play over the final two days of the Tour Championship, the final leg of the FedEx Cup.

He shot 15 under par over the first two days, giving him a score of 16 under with the staggered scoring to begin the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia.  That left him tied for the lead at the halfway point.

However, he shot a 3-over-par 73 in Saturday's third round and finished up with 2-over-par 72 in Sunday's final round.  So he shot 20 strokes better in the first two days than in the second two days.

It ultimately left him at 11 under par, 16 strokes behind winner Viktor Hovland, who took home the first prize of $18 million by shooting a final-round 7-under-par 63 to finish at 27 under par.

Xander Schauffele had an outstanding final round, carding an 8-under-par 62 to finish at 22-under.   But that still left him five strokes behind Hovland, forcing Schauffele to settle for a mere $6.5 million second-place prize.

Schauffele finished six strokes ahead of third-place finisher Wyndham Clark, and Rory McIlroy wound up two strokes behind Clark at 14-under.  Another stroke back was Patrick Cantlay at 12-under, and Morikawa was another stroke back at 11-under, tied with Scottie Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood for sixth.

Max Homa, the other Cal golfer in the 30-man field, was eight shots better than Morikawa over the final 36 holes.  He was 1 under par on Saturday and finished up with a score of 2-under-par 68 on Sunday, putting him at 10-under for the tournament, tied for ninth and just one stroke behind Morikawa.
