max homa (66, tied for 12th): vista valencia junkyard dawg max homa is playing like a little kid that don't give 2 ***** with an unreal mini flop shot birdie 2 hole out from a death warmed over downhill/sidehill lie in the unpredictable kikuyu rough on the diabolical par 3 16th hole which fueled the short sided up & down sandy birdie 4 on the par 5 17th hole and then scrambled for a par on the iconic hillside par 4 18th hole at the riv...great twosome pairing tomorrow with the talkative/cheerful as **** jordan spieth

collin morikawa (69, tied for 16th): 3 more unreal artistic straight up filthy sand splashes on the 9th, 11th & 14th holes with the newly patented morikawa technique of choking up to the steel & swinging with SPEED outta the riv's deep punishing bunkers!!...collin has birdied 5 of the 6 par 5s this week but oddly enough has missed the green in regulation on 6 of the 8 par 3s...driving the ball beautifully (6th in the field in accuracy off the tee) with irons lasered hole high like a boss man, just gotta make a couple more putts manana & we're gonna be off to the ******* races!!

michael kim (74, missed cut): no worries, on to the ugly azz pga national (the site of brandon hagy's 2nd place pga tnt finish with a final round birdie streak thru the bear trap with the monster lurking/screaming his azz off) with condos on both sides of the fairways in west palm beach next week with max (would not be surprised if the 2 buds don't go to chipotle for an upscale dining experience, them bears like to eat!!)

I salute those that were able to make putts out there today. These were some of the most difficult surfaces I’ve ever been on. The speed of the greens, the bumpiness, the slopes the pins were on. I was totally off with my putter and cost me a weekend 🥲

https://instagr.am/p/DU_9M49AbJS

^ in life u gotta go thru something to get something (just another wise as **** monster fortune cookie insert!!)

Bay Area and cal legend is back at cal finishing his degree ! Giving a talk before the cal game ! pic.twitter.com/s5orypIbLq

— Twist (@TwistNH7) February 21, 2026

thx for posting econ, thrilled that young ivee aka ivan rabb is gonna finish the final 2 years of his berkeley degree!!...his moms tamara has always valued education even thru the tough times when they lived in the back room of one of her oakland restaurants back in the day with ivan's little bro tamarik who later transferred to cal from a junior college & graduated from the haas biz school



rabb wuz at times the #1 ranked player in his high school class & his teammate jaylen brown wuz ranked #3 in the nation...dreams (which included an academic component)/visions (which included a future then $22,000,000 basketball practice facility) got sold, deals got done & both matriculated in berkeley shocking the college basketball world as cal's monster class took center stage

They try this every game and it fails bc nobody’s here so it’s cool to see it work ! pic.twitter.com/cTdu636kMJ

this is full circle **** & glad to hear that haas wuz packed this afternoon!!



parties at ritchie's getting risky and we made it thru the hurricane (shine bright shine light like diamonds in the sky!!)#

I don't think anyone has good memories of inside Sproul Hall

bluehen, 100% getting transcripts & **** while standing in long lines at sproul took hours outta our lives that we'll never evah ******* get back!!

^ shocky is a little surprised that uc irvine aka pelican hills college wuz ranked #10 ahead of uc davis...do u got ur tix(s) for the uc championship game at memorial stadium on saturday september 5, 2026??

2026 la open at riviera: 3rd round update

https://instagr.am/p/C7uBpbISLyb
collin morikawa (70, tied for 15th): winners never quit and quitters never win (wowza, just another fortune cookie insert pearl of wisdom from the monster)

shocky wuz ******* done with wilcox during the 2024 la bowl at so fi stadium (with doms doing triggering dirty dancing with her girlfriends on the stadium's panoramic screens) when he played 2nd & 3rd stringers in the 1st quarter, the game wuz just a ******* holiday scrimmage in justin's mind (too bad nobody tole those of us that bleed blue & gold that wuz rooting for a winning record season in advance that the head coach didn't really give a **** about the bowl game's outcome)

so when the shockster wuz watching the listless, low energy/no excitement & zero yelling (eerily quiet) early warm ups at snapdragon dragon last september he knew the bears wuz mirroring the intensity of their head coach...the ensuing 0-34 sdsu aztecs beatdown wuz disappointing but not surprising to me

so today after hitting the par 5 1st hole in 2 shots from the left rough morikawa 3 jacked some augusta national kinda wildly undulating putts from 50 feet & then made 4 bogeys to finish the 7th hole +4 for the day

did our haas biz ad grad throw a pity party, call it a day & mentally quit competing??

**** no my poly hopa/hopa brah dug down deep & finished the round with an ELECTRIC 40+ foot drained birdie putt from just short of the right front of the green on the amphitheater par 4 18th hole to finish the round 1 under par!!

max homa (73, tied for 27th): max wuz visibly agitated/hot under his dodger's t-shirt after burning the cup with well stroked putts on the 16th thru the 18th holes but he needs to keep his **** & mental composure together manana in his hometown

homa entered the tournament #104 in the fed ex standing, the top 100 players at season's end will retain their pga tour cards for 2027 & the top 50 will secure invitations to the 2027 signature events

max, a lotta young people look up to you these days, what kinda role model are you gonna be for them & your kids??

After a second-round 66 @TheGenesisInv to move into T12, @MaxHoma met the winners of this week's @SCPGAJrTour Max Homa Invitational ...

The prize includes, apparently, an Instagram follow 😂 pic.twitter.com/HDlHclhKKu

my brah sophmore zinqin zhou could be the next california golden bear to play on the pga tour, he's got the total tool kit package!!

^ zhou wuz a stroke or two away from winning the 2024 asia pacific amateur, the winner won an invitation to the 2025 masters as a contestant

the only thing holding the 6' 192 lbs cali golden bear back are chronic back problems, shocky has tole z in person that he gotta get a dedicated (2-3 times a week) yoga/meditation practice (just stretching is not gonna magically make his back issues go away)

https://instagr.am/p/DPRx8wejmEj
if z gets a yoga/meditation practice he's gonna be OFF TO THE RACES!!

2027 high school quarterback recruiting update:

2027 Cal QB targets Brody Rudnicki (Folsom) and Sione Kaho (Tacoma-Lincoln) having some fun after today’s Elite 11 LA Regional.

Both told @MattRMoreno that the Bears are among the schools recruiting them the hardest right now and praised Tosh Lupoi’s recruiting aggressiveness. pic.twitter.com/n24UvfDH3R

— Golden Bear Report (On3 | Rivals) (@CalBearsOn3) February 21, 2026

sione is the qb1 on the staff's big board, will be insightful to see which quarterbacks advance in head to head competition from the multiple regional elite 11s to the national elite 11

2026 la open at riviera: 4th round update


^ fun fact: both collin & his close friend kk limbhaust are high gpa haas biz ad grads, junior charlie bundy is following in these footprints of also shocky & chancellor lyons (both vetted by b-school admissions director ruth "not a smiler" nice back in the day)

collin morikawa (65, tied for 7th): FANTASTIC 7 birdie finale in pacific palisades for our cali golden bear!!...along with leading the field in driving accuracy this week (#1 with 40 outta 56 fairways) just another absolutely filthy sand splash from the front bunker on the par 5 11th hole to a kick in range birdie, morikawa's unique patented technique of choking up to the shaft & swinging with SPEED is elevating his overall game to another level & will be invaluable at the 2026 us open at shinnecock hills with its dungeon sand traps

max homa (71, tied for 37th): the monster's take is that a little bit of wind went out from behind max's sails when he made only a par 5 from the middle of the fairway on the scoreable 1st hole at the riv but overall a good tournament as max moves up to #94 in the season long fed ex standings...homa (whose game is in a good place, just gotta tighten up the driver accuracy dispersion) will play next week with former bears teammate michael kim in west palm beach

the pga tour's 2026 west coast swing is now over & summer is within view across the pacific ocean's azul crashing waves, yeah summer is not outta reach with the cali boyz of summer

shocky has played the riv a dozen plus times, the 1st time hosted by paul michael glasser of starsky & hutch tv show fame way the **** before erewhon & nobu malibu (basically the dark ages of west los angeles for foodies)

https://instagr.am/p/DVEsLAhEiId
miami hurricanes 69
california golden bears 60

today's loss in coral cables effectively ended any chance for the bears to earn a 2026 ncca tournament invitation, just another underperforming (except for last season's special ncca team) loss for a head coach with a career sub .300 conference record

chancellor lyons, the wbb program is not fulfilling its potential either on the floor or in building a fanbase...and the once formidable volleyball program wuz 9-21 last season & the ****show softball program is 5-10 this season after today's 19-5 beatdown by auburn at a neutral site

when are you gonna hold the worthless bureaucrat JENNIFER SIMON-O'NEIL accountable for her absolute dereliction of duties??

based upon this conclusive empirical evidence of +1 modern yoga athleticism shockey's newly incorporated MONSTERLOSEURAZZ.COM got them ucla bruins as 24+ points FAVORITES in the uc championship game at memorial stadium on saturday september 5, 2026



8 clap (could lead to stds or something, do u got siblings??)#

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE: this is the 9th consecutive post by shocky, he cannot post again unless there is monster reader posts/engagement per the rules of of the bearinsider.com

Shocky, how did you come up with 24+ points FAVORITES ?

^ it's elementary 51, leidy tole me that each of the 6 bruins +1 athletic backflips are each worth 4 points to the uc championship game spread and that my guy mateen bhaghani is worth 6 (two field goals) more points but that's gonna be cancelled out by the SOLD OUT insane energy home field advantage at memorial stadium, got it?

trust me, MONSTERLOSEURAZZ.COM is not in the biz of losing money or something!!
