Colin Morikawa’s bunker highlights turn on the final few feet

A ranked golf montage pairs bunker scenes with a ball close to the flag and a golfer’s raised-arm reaction.

Colin Morikawa’s bunker highlights are about more than the escape itself. In one sequence, the ball sits close to the flag, its finishing position setting up the reaction that follows: a golfer raises an arm from the sand.

That small gap between shot and outcome is the point. From a bunker, getting the ball out is only part of the job; it still has to travel far enough and finish close enough to matter. The montage keeps the focus on that last stretch, rather than explaining the technique behind each strike.

Other scenes show a golfer crossing the sand with the green and flag beyond. Together, they give the short-game sequence its shape: the bunker shot, the ball’s destination and the response once it is there.
