I&#8217;m just enjoying every day. I can stare at a camera, I can stare at my little one just non-stop and kind of forget about what else is going on. I know at the same time I still have a job to do when I&#8217;m out here and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s great kind of being back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But at the same time when I&#8217;m out there playing you&#8217;re kind of playing a little bit differently, your mind&#8217;s in a different spot. I think I&#8217;m a lot more positive out there and hopefully I can kind of just allow my body to relax and go out and play golf and enjoy it again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The seven-time PGA Tour champion continued, as the third major of the season sits right around the corner and he hasn&#8217;t been getting a ton of rest.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Morikawa and his wife announced they were expecting at the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img w-full w-full h-auto\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/i2-prod.themirror.com\/incoming\/article1880145.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s810\/0_GettyImages-2261840801.j.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Morikawa and his wife announced they were expecting at the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am -Credit:Getty Images<\/p>\n<p> (aol_the_mirror_191)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I kind of took it for granted on the sleep thing,&#8221; said Morikawa ahead of the RBC Canadian Open.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And that&#8217;s a real thing. So I won&#8217;t push it on my wife that I&#8217;m getting some great sleep out here.
