Although he never won a major title during his time on the PGA Tour, Morgan showed signs of brilliance. For example, during the 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, Morgan became the first player to ever reach 10-under-par during U.S. Open competition when he recorded a birdie on the third hole during the third round. He later added two more birdies to reach ?12 after the seventh hole.
