Collin Morikawa sparks discussion after ‘butt plug’ seen in trousers at Zozo Championship

An unexpected guest joined Collin Morikawa at the Zozo Championship in Japan.

Golf fans quickly put their detective hats on to decipher what exactly was peering through Collin Morikawa’s trousers as he attempted to defend his Zozo Championship title.

It had been an eventful few days for the American, who earlier in the competition had fallen over when attempting a 151-yard recovery shot, but this time the viewers’ eyes were diverted to his wardrobe rather than his swing.

Eight Americans sit inside the top 12, behind leader Nicholas Echavarria, but Morikawa was not one of them. The two-time major champion carded E on moving day and finished tied for 39th, but continued to spark curiosity.

With his back to fans at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club, one supporter managed to snap a picture of Morikawa with an unlikely bulge pouring out of the back of his trousers.

Social media sleuths soon got to work on Reddit as they attempted to decipher the unidentified object.

And they quickly made light of the situation, as u/JMeucci was among many to say: “I thought everyone had a lucky butt plug, no?”

While u/Bogie2014 added: “Huge vibrating butt plug.” Then u/supisak1642 similarly joked: “Butt plug, all the good players are doing it, helps with concentration and those real intense butt hole pucker moments.”
